Abstract

Income inequality has long been a topic of discussion among economists and policymakers. It is well-known that high levels of income inequality can negatively affect society, including lower economic productivity. In recent years, there has been growing interest in understanding how income inequality can affect economic productivity and society's overall well-being. This research explores the relationship between income inequality and economic productivity, comparing data from six metropolitan cities within the United States; I will explore a range of variables that may impact income inequality, such as average household size, crime rates, education, and GDP.
