Growing wage inequality linked to larger firms' success, study finds.
The article "Wage Inequality and Firm Growth" discusses how pay gaps within companies increase as the companies get bigger. It also shows that as firms grow over time, the wage differences within them also increase. The researchers found that in 15 developed countries, higher overall wage inequality is linked to more growth in the largest companies. This suggests that the trend of increasing wage inequality globally might be due to the growth of big companies.
