The U.S. is home to the most billionaires in the world, and the country’s changing wealth dynamics are not lost on those living paycheck-to-paycheck. The after-tax wages of Americans in the lowest-income group grew just 1.3% year-over-year this July, down from 1.6% in the month before, according to the Bank of America Institute.
