Update:

Wages are stagnant, long-term unemployment is still high by historical standards, and poverty continues to be widespread. At the same time, five years after the end of the Great Recession, the very wealthy have seen substantial income gains due to a prolonged stock market rally built on high corporate profits that skyrocketed in the middle of the recession. While the nation’s wealthiest reap the benefits, America’s working class is left behind and face tremendous economic insecurity.
