U.S. media: "K-shaped economy" shows continuous worsening of wealth inequality in the United States.

American media recently reported that the current wealth inequality in American society is continuing to worsen, and structural cracks are accelerating growing, making the characteristics of a "K-shaped economy" more apparent. According to the American Consumer News and Business Channel, driven by the rising stock market, the affluent in America are spending heavily on vacation products and high-end goods, while the low-income groups are struggling to afford necessities such as housing, groceries, and gasoline due to years of sustained high inflation. Looking at recent data, the gap is stark. Data shows that by the third quarter of 2025, the wealthiest 1% of the population in America collectively owned nearly 32% of the net assets, reaching a historical high, while the lower half of income earners only owned 2.5% of the nation's wealth.
