Report: Gap Between Rich and Poor Hits New High 
------------------------------------------------


 
The gap between rich and poor in the United States has reached a new
high. A new report by the Pew Research Center finds the gulf between
rich families and middle- and low-income families is the largest it has
been in 30 years of data collection. Pew found that while affluent
families became wealthier from 2010 to 2013, middle-income families
stayed the same, while poor families got poorer.
