Re:U.S. Income Inequality Hits a New Threshold by refurb on Thursday March 01, 2018 @02:00PM (#16495016)
There have been several papers that show the US is last in income mobility while having other papers show it's in the top 3. Suffice to say there is no consensus.

Also, measuring mobility by income quintiles is challenging as quintiles aren't the same across countries. You could move from 1st to 4th income quintile in one country and have a higher wage than some moving from 1st to 5th in another country.
