was an article on today's Comcast.net news. The article quoted that the Richest Average income was $93,000 and the Poorest average was $5,800. If you calculate the Federal minimum wage of $6.55 an hour, at 40 hours a week, times 52 weeks one gets $13,624.

Is the widening income gap caused buy the unfair income growth of the top earning average, or the increase in the number of teenagers, immigrants, and an increasing number of retirees working part time?

The immigrant population is growing every year and many of them are not educated enough to work at jobs that pay more than minimum wage.

The number of teenagers born to immigrants increases also and they, like all teenagers, fill the retail, short hour positions that only pay minimum wage.

A growing number of baby boomer are retiring and many want to stay busy and work part time to stay busy and earn a little income. How many of us "getting older" people work at Publics for example, and make minimum wage.

Do the increasing low end numbers really make the income gap appear larger than it really is? What do you feel?
