>I find it astonishing how positive Bloomberg tries to spin this:
>People earn a wider range of incomes in the U.S., so “workers have an incentive to try harder to move up the job ladder because a promotion is worth more,” said Dora Gicheva

Almost everyone I know in the US, regardless of their current income, is trying to get a promotion, simply because one is available.
