iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — The 99 percent of Americans who aren’t among the country’s richest saw their incomes rise more than 3 percent last year, marking the biggest annual gain for that group since the Great Recession.
Incomes rose 3.3 percent to a household average of $47,213, according to economist Emmanuel Saez.
But despite the gains, the gap between the 99 percent and the top 1 percent got worse. The richest Americans saw their incomes go up 10.8 percent to a household average of $1.3 million.
