Woodruff: The Income Gap, Right Under Our Noses | The Rundown News Blog | PBS NewsHour | PBS

Woodruff: The Income Gap, Right Under Our Noses | The Rundown News Blog | PBS NewsHour | PBS: Knowing the PBS NewsHour was planning a series of reports on income inequality in America, launched with economics correspondent Paul Solman's excellent report on Tuesday (if you haven't seen it yet, it's a must), my ears have been attuned lately to news about the growing gap in the United States between rich and poor.

If anyone's tempted to think this is an abstract phenomenon -- somewhere else, not in our own communities -- I urge you to take another look.
