While the per capita income of the United States is among the highest in the world, the wealth is comparatively concentrated. The per capita income is higher than the western European, but in 1990 income was distributed less equally. Since 1975, the U.S. has a "two-tier" labor market in which virtually all the real income gains have gone to the top 20% of households, with most of those gains accruing to the very highest earners within that category. This polarization is the result of a relatively high level of economic freedom.
