Income and Poverty

Pulling Apart (April 2008). By income data, Wisconsin has less of a divide between the wealthy and the poor than most other states, but income inequality continues to grow here as it does in the nation as a whole. This report from WCCF and the Center on Wisconsin Strategy takes a look at income growth over a number of decades for different income groups, and puts Wisconsin's trends in a regional context. A number of policy recommendations are then offered for making sure Wisconsin remains one of the more equal states in the country.
