Maryland has a lot of income inequality and is becoming even more unequal, according to charts of 2023 income published by state legislative researchers.
More than two in five workers earned on average hardly more than the full-time state minimum wage. But the richest one and a half percent earned almost 20% of all the income in the state.
Worse, almost three in five people earned LESS in 2023 than the year before. But richer people earned MORE on average. The top half of a percent earned more than $20,000 MORE in 2023 than in 2022.
So our hard work doesn’t bring rewards. The rich gobble up the results.
