ABSTRACT
U.S. Wage Inequality: Past, Present, and Future
| The United States is one of the wealthiest countries in the world.
However, the United States has experienced the largest increase in inequality
among OECD countries such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Netherlands,
France, Italy, and Japan. Why has the U.S. experienced the largest increase
in inequality? Is it because of supply and demand factors? Or it is because
of a falling real minimum wage? The purpose of this research is to determine
what caused the growth of wage inequality, by evaluating the consensus
and revisionists views.
