Rich-poor divide accelerating, says OECD

The gap between rich and poor widened more in the three years to 2010 than in the previous 12 years, the OECD group of industrialised nations has said. It says the richest 10% of society in the 33 OECD countries received 9.5 times that of the poorest in terms of income, up from nine times in 2007. via Pocket http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-22545210#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa
