Some people earn more than others because they do different jobs, work harder or longer hours, have more skills, or get lucky. Imagine one person sells lemonade at the park and gets $10 for a whole day of work, while another person works at a big store and earns much more in just an hour. That’s how income inequality starts, not everyone has the same chance to earn money.
Examples
- A baker earns less per hour than a software engineer.
- A teacher might work all year but earn about the same as someone who works just three months at a company.
- Some people get lucky and start businesses that make them rich quickly.
