This paper demonstrates
that many of the implications of the Inequality Process' macro
model for how the distribution of wage income changes are evident in time series
of two simple descriptive statistics, the dispersion of wage income and the
relative frequency in a particular range of large incomes. The time-series of
these statistics has been widely misinterpreted as evidence of galloping growth
in wage income inequality and even the "hollowing out" of the
distribution of wage income.
