Article Summary According to the U.S. Census Bureau, income inequality in the United States was "significantly higher" in 2018 than in 2017, with the gap between the richest and poorest households the largest it has been in the last 50 years. At the same time, median U.S. income hit its highest level ever, with a national economy experiencing low unemployment and more than 10 years of consecutive GDP growth. According to Rutgers University Professor William M. Rogers III, the most troubling aspect of this report is that it "clearly illustrates the inability of the current economic expansion, the longest on record, to lessen inequality." The Census Bureau report also states that the nation's poverty rate fell in 14 states and Puerto Rico, and that for the 25 largest U.S. cities, the poverty rate either remained the same or fell in 2018.

Shen, who is currently unemployed, is a participant in four welfare programs that offer daily benefits of $10 each to people with no earned income. Each program then curtails its benefits by 50 cents for every dollar of income a recipient earns. Shen's identical twin brother, Sean, is enrolled in an experimental negative income tax program that gives him $40/day in benefits and then taxes him at the rate of 50 percent on each dollar of earned income. Now suppose Shen is offered a job that pays $4/hr, the same wage his brother earns. a. Draw the budget constraint for each twin.
