3) What explains the post-2010 discordance? The changing household composition of workers explains nearly half. This is driven by an increase in young, low-earnings workers who live with their parents (thus, combining low personal earnings with high household incomes).

A few studies find that personal earnings inequality (finally) declined in the US from 2010-2022. But, a twist: household income inequality continued to climb. What explains the discordant inequality trends? See our new WP w/ Lukas Lehner & Nathan Wilmers: iza.org/publications/d…
