D.C. employment and pay gaps widening, study shows: The employment gaps between black and white, educated and uneducated, and wealthy and low-income residents in the District are continuing to widen, with some conditions at their worst levels in 30 years, according to a new study by a local think tank.
The report, which will be released Wednesday by the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute, shows that the inequalities have been exacerbated by the recession but have been mounting for decades.
In recent years, the city's narrative has been the gentrification of neighborhoods through condominiums, dog parks and restaurants, but the report shows that the shift has spread to the city's workforce.
