美国的收入不平等加剧,因为较富裕的家庭在人口大规模复苏之后的不平衡中花费的钱比低收入家庭多。 U.S. income inequality grew as wealthier households spent more than lower-income families amid uneven post-pandemic recovery.

一项新的研究表明,美国的收入不平等有所扩大,过去三年来,收入较高和受过大学教育的家庭比低收入和农村家庭增加的消费更快。 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. 美联储和分析公司提供的数据显示,富裕的美国人的支出增长1.6%至7.2%,而收入低于50 000美元的人仅增长0.8%至1.8%。 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%. 这种差异反映了“K形”复苏,经济收益不平衡,低收入家庭在住房和食品等必需品上面临更高的通货膨胀,尽管总体经济增长。 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.
