We Are Far Better Off 14 Years Later

This is a staggering 264% and nearly 20% increase per year. And low and behold it is not the super rich that are pulling the averages up, it is the middle segment LSM 5 to LSM 9 that has increased.
In fact the percentage of the population in the LSM 1 -4 segment has decreased with a whopping 32% since 2001. This is a spectacular narrowing of the gap between rich and poor.
LSM 4 has increased but the significant drop is in the LSM 1-3 segments while LSM 10 has remained the same. 78% of the population are in the LSM 4- 10 groups, and 22% in the LSM 1-3 group. In 1993 the LSM 1-3 group represented over 40% of the population.
