Rising Wage Gap

As the United States transitions from a manufacturing to a service-based economy, the wage gap between sectors is widening. Major cities with a strong knowledge economy are experiencing rising wages, while the old manufacturing economy sees stagnation. This trend has led to social unrest and a populist uprising, with concerns about leaving certain groups behind economically and socially. Blaming major cities or liberal governance alone is not accurate, as the shift in the economy is the driving force behind these changes.
