Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1980s saw a significant increase in income inequality, with the top 1% of earners seeing their income increase by 80%, while the bottom 90% only saw a 4% increase. This means that the poorest Americans did not fare well in the 1980s, as they saw very little improvement in their financial situation. Professionals and large corporations, on the other hand, generally did well during this decade. The wealthiest Americans also did well overall, but the increasing income inequality means that this group may have seen more significant gains than others.
