Solution

Choice 5 of 5: Inequality has increased while the poverty rate has stayed roughly the same.

This is generally true. Over the past 50 years, income inequality in the United States has increased significantly. This is largely due to a variety of factors, including changes in labor market conditions, globalization, and government policies.

On the other hand, the poverty rate has fluctuated over the past 50 years, but overall it has stayed roughly the same. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the poverty rate in 1967 was 14.0%, and in 2017 it was 12.3%. While there have been periods of increase and decrease, the overall trend has been relatively stable.
