increase is reflected in the general standard of living. Nevertheless, we must ask is this really the case? If we look at the evidence, it would indicate that wages are
increasing across the board, but they are not increasing in an even manner. In other words, the gap between the highest and lowest earners is increasing, and if this is
taken in a statistical sense we can demonstrated how this is happening. Furthermore, this is not the only inequality in wages as there is also an established differential between male
and female earnings. It is unlikely a single cause can be found, and that it is more probable that this is due to a multitude of reasons.
If we consider the information given to us by the US Bureau of The Census we can see the inequality rising consistently. To give a fair
perspective it compares earnings at the 80th percentile with those at the 20th. In this manner the highest and lowest are compared without too much deviation being introduced by the
extremes at either end. The data is divided into male and female, surprisingly it is the females that show a decrease in inequality, however it does not appear to be
equalising with the males. In 1975 the ratio for a man in the upper earnings was 2.58 of those in the lower. In other words, higher earners would earn 2.58
times that of a lower worker in 1975. This creeps up with the ratio becoming 2.8 in 1980, 3.22 in 1985, 3.4 in 1990 and 3.65 in 1992. The trend
is quiet clear and distinct. The converse is true of female workers, taking the equivalent measure the 1975 ratio for women would
