flag U.S. income inequality grew as wealthier households spent more than lower-income families amid uneven post-pandemic recovery.

flag A new study shows U.S. income inequality has widened, with higher-income and college-educated households increasing spending faster than lower-income and rural families over the past three years. flag Data from the Federal Reserve and analytics firms indicate wealthier Americans saw spending rises of 1.6% to 7.2%, while those earning below $50,000 grew by just 0.8% to 1.8%. flag This divergence reflects a "K-shaped" recovery, where economic gains have been uneven, with lower-income households facing higher inflation on essentials like housing and groceries, despite overall economic growth.
