The poll asked Californians to weigh in on a laundry list of issues relating to the November election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[LivingPoverty]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The survey found that seven out of 10 respondents believe the number of people living in poverty is a “major” \u003cdel>\u003c/del>problem. There was wide agreement, regardless of race, political affiliation, income level or age. Two-thirds of Californians also believe income inequality is a major problem\u003cdel>\u003c/del>. (The cost of health care was another top concern, considered a problem by 70 percent of respondents.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to solutions, one-third of those polled “strongly favor” the state’s recent $15/hour minimum wage bump approved by the state Legislature in March. Another 26 percent “somewhat” favor the pay increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You could simultaneously view poverty as a problem but not want to raise the minimum wage,” said Barker. “The more conservative (people) would say there needs to be less regulation to free up the markets so more people can get hired.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hike in the state minimum wage came nearly a year after the Los Angeles City Council and Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors passed $15/hour minimum wages of their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[MinWagePoll]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Nothoff, of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.laane.org/\">Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy, \u003c/a>said those efforts were driven in large part by the L.A. region’s large pool of \u003cdel>\u003c/del>low-wage immigrant workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was really the immigrant community pushing, telling us what it takes to make ends meet and leading the charge to raise the bar for all workers across the state,” said Nothoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Respondents to the CALSPEAKS survey were split over the broader question of whether immigrants (from Asia and Latin America specifically) help or hurt the state’s economy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The poll found that 38 percent believe immigrants weaken the economy “a little” to “a lot,” while 47 percent believe immigrants strengthen the economy “a little” or “a lot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ImmigrationPoll]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to illegal immigration specifically, 45 percent of respondents say it’s a “major” problem. Another 29 percent view it as a “minor problem,” while 23 percent think it’s little to no problem at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Editor’s Note: This story has been updated to include additional information regarding the methodology of the survey.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>California Counts, a statewide public media election collaborative, contracted with the CALSPEAKS Opinion Research Center at the Institute for Social Research, Sacramento State University, to conduct an extensive survey of Californians’ electoral and public policy attitudes.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Institute for Social Research at Sacramento State fielded the survey online and through the mail from Aug. 15 to 24, 2016 using the CALSPEAKS survey panel. It yielded 915 completed surveys and 44 partially completed surveys. CALSPEAKS obtains a representative sample of Californians, stratified by the five major regions in the state.

However, the margins of error are larger if focusing on smaller subgroups, especially racial or ethnic subgroups. These are equal or less than +/- 16 percentage points for African-Americans, and 10 percentage points for Latinos or those of “other races/ethnicities” (including Asian-Americans, Pacific Islanders, Native Americans, and those of mixed race/ethnicity).

One is higher awareness on all of our campuses and the communities that surround the 23 campuses about how important it is to find solutions here. And the second is to find the solutions and create the policies and expectations to enable our students to not have such significant problems with access to food and safe places to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katayama:\u003c/strong> CSU has already started to study student homelessness on its campuses. Based on what you already know, what could those policies or programs look like?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>White:\u003c/strong> They could look like having [food] pantries required on campuses, perhaps. It could look like making sure that the campuses have a one-page shopping, if you will, for where there are places in the community that also provide similar services. It could take the form of dedicating campuses' resources from one type of another or part of the fundraising activities that campuses do, or the grants that they seek from agencies to creating the funding to support this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katayama:\u003c/strong> Why can't the available college resource centers or staff on school campuses adequately help students now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>White:\u003c/strong> There's the personnel side, and perhaps some of those good folks can help. But then there's also the supply side of how do we get nutritious food and the ability for students to learn how to prepare that food, and hygiene products and other things that are necessary for their lives -- how do we get the resources to have that? In places that are most successful, those types of supplies are coming often by donations from the community. So, how do we engage community partners to say this matters to us, too?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katayama:\u003c/strong> Will you be able to pay for all the programs, or will it depend on fundraising or private funding at each school?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>White:\u003c/strong> I think it will be a combination of all of that -- redirecting existing efforts, if this is a higher priority, engaging the philanthropic community, working with foundations, redirecting resources that are used for something that are no longer quite as necessary. But one of the most powerful things that I've learned about the California State University is the heart and the drive of the people who go to school and who work at the universities. And because this has become known now to be such a significant issue, I think that spirit will go a long ways in finding and making resources and things available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview was edited for length.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

One is higher awareness on all of our campuses and the communities that surround the 23 campuses about how important it is to find solutions here. And the second is to find the solutions and create the policies and expectations to enable our students to not have such significant problems with access to food and safe places to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katayama:\u003c/strong> CSU has already started to study student homelessness on its campuses. Based on what you already know, what could those policies or programs look like?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>White:\u003c/strong> They could look like having [food] pantries required on campuses, perhaps. It could look like making sure that the campuses have a one-page shopping, if you will, for where there are places in the community that also provide similar services. It could take the form of dedicating campuses' resources from one type of another or part of the fundraising activities that campuses do, or the grants that they seek from agencies to creating the funding to support this.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katayama:\u003c/strong> Why can't the available college resource centers or staff on school campuses adequately help students now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>White:\u003c/strong> There's the personnel side, and perhaps some of those good folks can help. But then there's also the supply side of how do we get nutritious food and the ability for students to learn how to prepare that food, and hygiene products and other things that are necessary for their lives -- how do we get the resources to have that? In places that are most successful, those types of supplies are coming often by donations from the community. So, how do we engage community partners to say this matters to us, too?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katayama:\u003c/strong> Will you be able to pay for all the programs, or will it depend on fundraising or private funding at each school?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>White:\u003c/strong> I think it will be a combination of all of that -- redirecting existing efforts, if this is a higher priority, engaging the philanthropic community, working with foundations, redirecting resources that are used for something that are no longer quite as necessary. But one of the most powerful things that I've learned about the California State University is the heart and the drive of the people who go to school and who work at the universities. And because this has become known now to be such a significant issue, I think that spirit will go a long ways in finding and making resources and things available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview was edited for length.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

She made the swim in just under 15 hours in 1989. Berkay bested that time by more than two hours, completing the swim in 12 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm in awe of that fact,\" Berkay said of her record-breaking swim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Berkay had friends waiting for her and cheering her on as she sprinted to the end of her swim.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It just seemed like a very surreal moment,\" she said. \"I couldn't believe the swim was finished, and I had actually done it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>--\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Melissa Berkay is not your average Mills College swimmer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t usually get athletes of her caliber,\" said Neil Virtue, head coach of \u003ca href=\"http://www.millscyclones.com/sports/wswimdive/index\" target=\"_blank\">the swim team\u003c/a> at the small liberal arts college in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A competitive teenage swimmer in the San Diego area, Berkay earned a scholarship in 2009 to Rider University in New Jersey, which has a Division I swim program. But she wound up coming back to California after just two years. She was out of school -- and out of the pool -- for four years, including an eight-month stretch when she was homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a combination of relationship and financial and job issues and lack of safety net and familial support that led to that,\" Berkay said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2016/aug/08/formerly-homeless-san-diegan-swims-combat-homeless/\" target=\"_blank\">an interview with KPBS\u003c/a>. \"It was definitely a growing experience I wouldn't have been able to make it through without the support I received. I'm motivated by that experience to give back to those communities and to show that a person who has been in that position can make a difference.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That experience has motivated Berkay to attempt something no American has done before. This Wednesday, she will try to swim the Catalina Channel -- 21 miles from Santa Catalina Island to Rancho Palos Verdes -- using only the butterfly stroke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/277386407\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she has wanted to do a marathon swim -- an open-water swim of at least 10 kilometers -- since she was 11, but when the opportunity presented itself this summer, she knew it had to be more than just a swim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm going to do this swim, but I really don't want to do it for myself because there's something I can do with this,\" Berkay said in an interview last week. \"This solely shouldn't be about me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She had seen other marathon swimmers raise money for diabetes or cancer, but rarely for organizations that focus on homelessness. Knowing firsthand how important these organizations can be, she decided to use her swim to raise money for three California nonprofits focused on homelessness: \u003ca href=\"http://www.godsextendedhand.com/\" target=\"_blank\">God's Extended Hand Mission\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccdsd.org/programs/homeless-womens-services/\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel's Women's Center\u003c/a> in San Diego and \u003ca href=\"https://www.projecthomelessconnect.org/2015/06/jazzies-place-americas-first-lgbt-shelter/\" target=\"_blank\">Jazzie's Place\u003c/a> in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Giving back to the community that helped me at one point is really important to me personally,\" Berkay said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She set up a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/catalinachannel\" target=\"_blank\">GoFundMe page\u003c/a>, which has raised more than $1,300 so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay fell back on her swimming experiences and her \"almost military-style\" training out East to help her get through her hard times after returning to California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'If I can do that, I can deal with this economic crisis I'm in right now,'\" she said she told herself. \"That really helped me adjusting to a situation that would be hard to get through if I didn't have that experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay was rarely in the water during those four years and thought she would never swim again. But it didn't take long for her to kick off any rust she might have had when she joined the Mills College team in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first few times I saw her in the water, it was like a machine,\" Virtue said. \"She was go, go, go.

But she wound up coming back to California after just two years. She was out of school -- and out of the pool -- for four years, including an eight-month stretch when she was homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a combination of relationship and financial and job issues and lack of safety net and familial support that led to that,\" Berkay said in \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2016/aug/08/formerly-homeless-san-diegan-swims-combat-homeless/\" target=\"_blank\">an interview with KPBS\u003c/a>. \"It was definitely a growing experience I wouldn't have been able to make it through without the support I received. I'm motivated by that experience to give back to those communities and to show that a person who has been in that position can make a difference.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That experience has motivated Berkay to attempt something no American has done before.

Knowing firsthand how important these organizations can be, she decided to use her swim to raise money for three California nonprofits focused on homelessness: \u003ca href=\"http://www.godsextendedhand.com/\" target=\"_blank\">God's Extended Hand Mission\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccdsd.org/programs/homeless-womens-services/\" target=\"_blank\">Rachel's Women's Center\u003c/a> in San Diego and \u003ca href=\"https://www.projecthomelessconnect.org/2015/06/jazzies-place-americas-first-lgbt-shelter/\" target=\"_blank\">Jazzie's Place\u003c/a> in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Giving back to the community that helped me at one point is really important to me personally,\" Berkay said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She set up a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/catalinachannel\" target=\"_blank\">GoFundMe page\u003c/a>, which has raised more than $1,300 so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay fell back on her swimming experiences and her \"almost military-style\" training out East to help her get through her hard times after returning to California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"'If I can do that, I can deal with this economic crisis I'm in right now,'\" she said she told herself. \"That really helped me adjusting to a situation that would be hard to get through if I didn't have that experience.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkay was rarely in the water during those four years and thought she would never swim again. But it didn't take long for her to kick off any rust she might have had when she joined the Mills College team in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first few times I saw her in the water, it was like a machine,\" Virtue said. \"She was go, go, go.

Over the past decade, what other part of California has minted as many members of the “1 percent” as Silicon Valley?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to research from the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California, income inequality in the Bay Area has worsened only marginally, at least when compared to other parts of the state. In 2007, Bay Area households at the top 10 percent of incomes made about 10.6 times what Bay Area households at the bottom 10 percent of incomes brought home. By 2014, they made about 11.6 times as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that 10 percent increase in the income gap is notable, it pales in comparison to almost every other region in the state. The “90/10” ratio grew by over 30 percent in the greater Sacramento region and in the more rural counties north of the Bay Area. The Inland Empire in Southern California, still reeling from its foreclosure crisis, saw the biggest jump in income inequality in the state at more than 40 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[IncomeGapGrowing]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So much for the growth in the gap; what about the size of the gap itself? Income inequality within California may not look like what you would expect. Regions such as Orange County and the Bay Area, despite their notable concentrations of wealth, are some of the more equal in the state. By far, the most unequal California region is the Central Valley, where high-income households make 14 times as much as poor households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what gives? Are the tech barons of San Francisco relocating to Fresno and commuting via private jet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The recovery has happened faster in the Bay Area -- that’s a big part of it,” says Sarah Bohn, a research fellow at PPIC and co-author on the study. “Incomes fell across the board during the recession, and the fastest to recover typically see better results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other important lessons to draw from how income inequality varies throughout the state and how the pattern has changed since the Great Recession. Part of the reason why regions such as the Bay Area and Orange County stack up favorably is because recent changes in income inequality have more to do with the deteriorating incomes of the poor than the growing fortunes of the rich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[PoorPoorer]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those at the bottom 10 percent of incomes in the Inland Empire, for example, saw their income drop by 35 percent since 2007. That’s mostly why the region, which includes Riverside and San Bernardino counties, suffered a 40 percent widening of the gap between rich and poor. In contrast, equivalent low-income residents of the Bay Area saw incomes fall just 9 percent, which helps explain why income inequality increased only marginally there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those California regions with the biggest chasm between rich and poor typically have some of the poorest populations in the state. In the Central Valley, for example, households in the bottom 10 percent of the income distribution made less than $10,000 per year (adjusted for a family of four). Their equivalents in the Bay Area made more than double that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re talking incomes that low, you’re likely talking about people who work in agriculture and who really have highly variables incomes because they’re not at a traditional job,” says Ann Stevens, director of the UC Davis Center for Poverty Research. “Or they may be doing temporary work or field work or running a small agricultural business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to note that the PPIC study does not control for the fact that low-income families may be relocating to more affordable areas of California -- or leaving the state altogether. Such a migration could lower inequality ratios in more expensive parts of the state such as the Bay Area and Orange County, where housing and other costs have risen rapidly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But across California, income inequality has gotten worse since 2007. And it’s not the rich getting richer per se -- it’s the already very poor getting even poorer. Incomes of the bottom 10 percent of Californians have dropped by 26 percent since 2007. Since 2007, the rich haven’t actually gotten that much richer -- or at least those at the top 10 percent are not racking up more income. In fact, incomes at the top 10 percent have also dropped over the same time period, but by a much smaller amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If incomes fell across the board at the same rate, then income inequality wouldn’t change that much,” Bohn says. “But because top incomes recover quicker and lower incomes don’t, that’s where the growth in inequality is coming from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How exactly you measure income inequality matters a great deal, both in terms of presenting the size of the income gap itself and devising the policy prescriptions to fix it -- assuming you think it should be fixed in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[WaysToMeasure]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focusing on very rich households will yield different results than focusing on even slightly less rich households. \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/research/city-and-metropolitan-inequality-on-the-rise-driven-by-declining-incomes/\">Research from the Brookings Institute\u003c/a> that compares higher-income households (those at the top 5 percent) to those at the bottom 20 percent makes the Bay Area appear much more unequal, with the greater San Francisco metro area the third most unequal region in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But looking at other portions of the income distribution can be even more illuminating. The PPIC researchers also compared the median income of each region to the bottom 10 percent, which can roughly be interpreted as how far very low-income households must climb up the income ladder to reach middle-class status. They also looked at the “80/20” ratio, which captures less of the extremes of rich and poor and examines a broader swath of upper- and lower-class families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The different measures tell a broader story about which households on the income spectrum are faring well and which aren’t. By the 80/20 measure, Los Angeles County is the third most unequal region in the state. But the county does much better by the 50/10 measure, where the gap between the poor and middle class is the second-lowest in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any measure of income inequality also comes with a couple of important -- yet often overlooked -- caveats. First, most look only at pre-tax earnings or cash income. They don’t include the income-leveling effect of taxes on richer households, nor do they include safety-net supports for low-income households such as food stamps and the Earned Income Tax Credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When counting only work and retirement income, a California household at the top 10 percent of income appears to make 17 times as much as a household at the bottom 10 percent. But factor in both taxes and safety-net supports, and that disparity shrinks by almost half -- with the top tier collecting eight times the income of the bottom tier. (The shrinkage of the gap is due more to the buttressing of incomes for the very poor than to the income-reducing effects of taxes on the rich.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ReducingGap]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s good news for those who believe income inequality is a problem worthy of government action. Driven by powerful macroeconomic forces such as globalization and technological change, income inequality is often framed as an intractable economic problem beyond the scope of simple policy solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the research indicates that policies such as the Earned Income Tax Credit -- which proves a sizable income boost to many low-income working families in the form of an annual refundable tax credit -- could do a great deal to reduce inequality in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Policy to reduce income inequality is hard when you’re just looking at labor market earnings,” Bohn says. “But in reality, what families live on -- there’s a lot more than just labor market earnings. We have targeted programs that are aimed at low-income families, and those are the places where policy can make a difference.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters is a nonprofit journalism venture dedicated to explaining state policies and politics.\u003c/em> \u003cem>For more stories like this one, go to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003cem>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Over the past decade, what other part of California has minted as many members of the “1 percent” as Silicon Valley?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But according to research from the nonpartisan Public Policy Institute of California, income inequality in the Bay Area has worsened only marginally, at least when compared to other parts of the state. In 2007, Bay Area households at the top 10 percent of incomes made about 10.6 times what Bay Area households at the bottom 10 percent of incomes brought home. By 2014, they made about 11.6 times as much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that 10 percent increase in the income gap is notable, it pales in comparison to almost every other region in the state. The “90/10” ratio grew by over 30 percent in the greater Sacramento region and in the more rural counties north of the Bay Area. The Inland Empire in Southern California, still reeling from its foreclosure crisis, saw the biggest jump in income inequality in the state at more than 40 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[IncomeGapGrowing]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So much for the growth in the gap; what about the size of the gap itself? Income inequality within California may not look like what you would expect. Regions such as Orange County and the Bay Area, despite their notable concentrations of wealth, are some of the more equal in the state. By far, the most unequal California region is the Central Valley, where high-income households make 14 times as much as poor households.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Are the tech barons of San Francisco relocating to Fresno and commuting via private jet?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The recovery has happened faster in the Bay Area -- that’s a big part of it,” says Sarah Bohn, a research fellow at PPIC and co-author on the study. “Incomes fell across the board during the recession, and the fastest to recover typically see better results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other important lessons to draw from how income inequality varies throughout the state and how the pattern has changed since the Great Recession. Part of the reason why regions such as the Bay Area and Orange County stack up favorably is because recent changes in income inequality have more to do with the deteriorating incomes of the poor than the growing fortunes of the rich.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[PoorPoorer]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those at the bottom 10 percent of incomes in the Inland Empire, for example, saw their income drop by 35 percent since 2007. That’s mostly why the region, which includes Riverside and San Bernardino counties, suffered a 40 percent widening of the gap between rich and poor. In contrast, equivalent low-income residents of the Bay Area saw incomes fall just 9 percent, which helps explain why income inequality increased only marginally there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those California regions with the biggest chasm between rich and poor typically have some of the poorest populations in the state. In the Central Valley, for example, households in the bottom 10 percent of the income distribution made less than $10,000 per year (adjusted for a family of four). Their equivalents in the Bay Area made more than double that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re talking incomes that low, you’re likely talking about people who work in agriculture and who really have highly variables incomes because they’re not at a traditional job,” says Ann Stevens, director of the UC Davis Center for Poverty Research. “Or they may be doing temporary work or field work or running a small agricultural business.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to note that the PPIC study does not control for the fact that low-income families may be relocating to more affordable areas of California -- or leaving the state altogether. Such a migration could lower inequality ratios in more expensive parts of the state such as the Bay Area and Orange County, where housing and other costs have risen rapidly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But across California, income inequality has gotten worse since 2007. And it’s not the rich getting richer per se -- it’s the already very poor getting even poorer. Incomes of the bottom 10 percent of Californians have dropped by 26 percent since 2007. Since 2007, the rich haven’t actually gotten that much richer -- or at least those at the top 10 percent are not racking up more income. In fact, incomes at the top 10 percent have also dropped over the same time period, but by a much smaller amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If incomes fell across the board at the same rate, then income inequality wouldn’t change that much,” Bohn says. “But because top incomes recover quicker and lower incomes don’t, that’s where the growth in inequality is coming from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How exactly you measure income inequality matters a great deal, both in terms of presenting the size of the income gap itself and devising the policy prescriptions to fix it -- assuming you think it should be fixed in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[WaysToMeasure]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focusing on very rich households will yield different results than focusing on even slightly less rich households. \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/research/city-and-metropolitan-inequality-on-the-rise-driven-by-declining-incomes/\">Research from the Brookings Institute\u003c/a> that compares higher-income households (those at the top 5 percent) to those at the bottom 20 percent makes the Bay Area appear much more unequal, with the greater San Francisco metro area the third most unequal region in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But looking at other portions of the income distribution can be even more illuminating. The PPIC researchers also compared the median income of each region to the bottom 10 percent, which can roughly be interpreted as how far very low-income households must climb up the income ladder to reach middle-class status. They also looked at the “80/20” ratio, which captures less of the extremes of rich and poor and examines a broader swath of upper- and lower-class families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The different measures tell a broader story about which households on the income spectrum are faring well and which aren’t. By the 80/20 measure, Los Angeles County is the third most unequal region in the state. But the county does much better by the 50/10 measure, where the gap between the poor and middle class is the second-lowest in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any measure of income inequality also comes with a couple of important -- yet often overlooked -- caveats. First, most look only at pre-tax earnings or cash income. They don’t include the income-leveling effect of taxes on richer households, nor do they include safety-net supports for low-income households such as food stamps and the Earned Income Tax Credit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When counting only work and retirement income, a California household at the top 10 percent of income appears to make 17 times as much as a household at the bottom 10 percent. But factor in both taxes and safety-net supports, and that disparity shrinks by almost half -- with the top tier collecting eight times the income of the bottom tier. (The shrinkage of the gap is due more to the buttressing of incomes for the very poor than to the income-reducing effects of taxes on the rich.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ReducingGap]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s good news for those who believe income inequality is a problem worthy of government action. Driven by powerful macroeconomic forces such as globalization and technological change, income inequality is often framed as an intractable economic problem beyond the scope of simple policy solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the research indicates that policies such as the Earned Income Tax Credit -- which proves a sizable income boost to many low-income working families in the form of an annual refundable tax credit -- could do a great deal to reduce inequality in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Policy to reduce income inequality is hard when you’re just looking at labor market earnings,” Bohn says. “But in reality, what families live on -- there’s a lot more than just labor market earnings. We have targeted programs that are aimed at low-income families, and those are the places where policy can make a difference.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
