I'm not sure that really means much intrinsically. Just look at these graphs showing the United States vs the ither G7 nations Income at each decile PPP adjusted, I'm not sure you can say that the Gini Coefficient being higher means much when the middle deciles in the United States have higher incomes.

Sort by the following:

  • Equilivalised Disposable Income
  • Median (PPP in $ USD)
