OECD report cites rising income inequality

Income inequality is increasing across much of the developed world, a trend that will continue unless governments move aggressively to arrest it, according to a report released Monday by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

The widening gap between rich and poor is being driven in part by a growing disparity in wages, as skilled workers command a disproportionate share of the bounty made possible by technological progress, the report said.

In the past 30 years, the recession has caused massive job losses, population growth has altered the size and makeup of our cities, and the income gap between rich and poor has widened. Here, we take a look at how people's perceptions of change in their area match up with the way things really are.
