date = {2018-01-03},

abstract = {This report summarizes key findings from the UCLA project, “The Widening Divide Revisited: Income and Earnings Inequality in Los Angeles at the Turn of the 21st Century.” This research builds upon and extends the previous work of Ong et al. (1989), “The Widening Divide: Income Inequality and Poverty in Los Angeles,” which was the first major study focusing on economic inequality in Los Angeles County. The project is guided by the emerging literature on growing economic disparities in America; by the recognition of a paucity of studies on this topic for Los Angeles; and by the need to promote greater awareness of this issue to inform decision-making. To better understand these issues, we provide an overview of household income, earnings, and wealth inequality; uneven labor market outcomes; disparities among immigrant workers; the impacts of inequality on consumption; and spatial patterns of inequality.



Our report highlights the growing economic disparity in Los Angeles that has become worse than the national average for income and wealth. Economic inequality in Los Angeles is driven by an expanding population at the bottom of the income and wealth distributions together with a growing share held by those at the top. Much of the inequality we observe is due to disparities in earnings. However, this inequality is varied among workers, where it is substantially more pronounced for immigrants than for those who are native-born. Patterns of economic inequality are also reflected in the unequal geographic distribution of income and wealth, including the spatial segregation and concentration of the poor. A greater understanding of these trends can inform policy makers, the media, and the public alike about the magnitude, nature, pattern, consequences, and causes of economic inequality in Los Angeles. We hope that this knowledge can in turn aid efforts to develop policies that address this increasingly daunting socioeconomic challenge.},
