New Data Suggests U.S. Income Divide May Be Narrowing, Hosts Discuss

Jill Schlesinger and her co-host examine recent statistics that indicate the gap between rich and poor Americans could be shrinking, while also addressing listener reactions to their critique of Jeremy Grantham’s stock warning.

In a recent Money Moves segment, Jill Schlesinger and Mark review fresh figures that point to a possible reduction in income disparity across the United States. They field comments from audience members who challenged their dismissal of Grantham’s advice to avoid U.S. equities. Schlesinger also revisits her own track record, recalling her early warning about the dot-com bubble. The hosts finish by debunking viral TikTok “recession signals” and offering practical steps for preparing for a slowdown.
