Orphaned references in Causes of income inequality in the United States

[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Causes of income inequality in the United States's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "cbo.gov":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 22:23, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong chart

[edit]
U.S. real wages remain below their 1970's peak.[1]

This needs to be replaced with a chart of total compensation because according to the same source that produced this chart, most economist have long known that total compensation is the correct measure to use. The St. Louis Fed has various versions of total compensation charts.Phmoreno (talk) 02:44, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Not rationally developed

[edit]

I recommend following classical economics and dividing income into returns to labor and returns to capital.

Returns to labor have an economic cause: how much value can a worker add. Similarly, returns to capital depend on how effectively it is employed.

Build the rest of the discussion from these fundamentals.Phmoreno (talk) 02:10, 7 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Great Divergence (inequality) with Causes of income inequality in the United States

[edit]

Both articles are on fairly similar topics (the other article says it's about a term in the first paragraph but the rest of it is just about the phenomenon) so there isn't really much reason to have two separate articles here from what I can see. Maybe this can be moved to a better title (I see Wealth ineq. in US also links here, so maybe drop the income at least?) but one thing at a time?

Weak support: Looks to me like Great Divergence is more of a book than common term. Per WP:NB "Great Divergence" barely meets the notability guideline for an article (it has multiple reviews). But then per WP:PAGEDECIDE I think the subject matter is better handled in a broader article. Earlsofsandwich (talk) 17:23, 2 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Agree with Earlofsandwich, but a single merged article will be of more use to a reader than this current situation, and a non geographic restricted subject allows a more general look, as the issue is not limited only to the US. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 11:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
