It's Them Not Me: Income Inequality Gap Grows As Does the College Gap

From the May 28, 2014, Chicago Tribune "Income equality: College Gap Grows" by Jim Tankersley, Washington Post.

This growing gap bothers me tremendously.  It certainly does not bode well for the country's future.

"One of the striking stories in the American economy over the last several decades is how much the incomes of the super rich have grown compared with the incomes of everybody else."

But, what is even more troubling is the incomes of the super-rich, that 1 percent of top earners is an even bigger gap between what college and high school educated.  Author David Autor now figures that the average college grad's income is now $28,000 higher while high school is$7,100.

I do know that i am also very upset that the cost of going to college has risen so much, taking away the opportunity for so many to attend.

And, then, I look at how much the coaches in football and basketball are getting paid in the upper echelons of college sportsdom.
