#GDP can be misleading when it comes to assessing #poverty. This research uses
"“Average poverty” which is defined as the average time needed to earn $1. The measure is inclusive, distribution-sensitive, decomposable, and aligns with how both experts and the public conceptualise poverty"

Unlike in Europe, average poverty has increased in the US, because average #inequality grew faster than average income

The US is ranked #6 in the world for extreme income inequality. That's right. You can literally count on one hand the countries that do it worse than us.

You want to know why one of the wealthiest countries in the world (when looked at in aggregate) is disintegrating before our very eyes? That's the reason.
