Based on personal experience gained during my 38 year career, I have discovered 3 solutions to income inequality. For the #1 solution, click here. The #2 solution to income inequality is to invest in yourself. How? Continue to upgrade your skills and abilities by taking classes in your career field or your prospective career field. If your current employer will not pay for the training, spend your own money! Let your manager and/or employer know that you are taking classes. Paying for your own training sends 2 messages:

It lets your manager and/or employer know that you are serious about your career
It lets your manager and/or employer that you will not let anyone or anything hold you back
