Article Summary According to the U.S. Census Bureau, income inequality in the United States was "significantly higher" in 2018 than in 2017, with the gap between the richest and poorest households the largest it has been in the last 50 years. At the same time, median U.S. income hit its highest level ever, with a national economy experiencing low unemployment and more than 10 years of consecutive GDP growth. According to Rutgers University Professor William M. Rogers III, the most troubling aspect of this report is that it "clearly illustrates the inability of the current economic expansion, the longest on record, to lessen inequality." The Census Bureau report also states that the nation's poverty rate fell in 14 states and Puerto Rico, and that for the 25 largest U.S. cities, the poverty rate either remained the same or fell in 2018.

How can profit motive lead to income inequality? (Pages 33 – 35) pages 33 Investment is necessary but risky. It has already been establishedthat capitalism is the most effective and efficient system for wealthcreation and economic prosperity. The path to economic successconsists in investment that is guided by supportive governmentpolicies and institutions. The success of capitalism, in turn, isderived from the success of business enterprises in their roles asjob creators and income-generating agents. However, investmentrequires enormous risk and sacrifice, along with one’s willingnessto undertake such risky ventures, which are based on the potentialreturns on the investment capital.

Help me understand this experiemental economics question: To study if there is gender discrimination in labour markets a researcher sends out 4000 job applications for two kinds of positions advertised by the same international company: copyediting and computer programming. (Hint: The company may have stereotypes about who would be an ideal candidate for the two jobs. Copyediting may be female stereotyped and computer programming may be male stereotyped.)

Present the results you would expect to find graphically.
