2 Monkeys Were Paid Unequally; See What Happens Next

Jackie Tortora

Income inequality—the major gap between the rich and average working families—is real, inflicts pain and is  created  by bad economic policy. 

Stay tuned for former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich's film, " Inequality For All ," coming to theaters this month that explains how things got so unequal in the United States and what we can do to change that. 

In the meantime, here's a humorous video, via Upworthy's Workonomics channel, that shows even primates understand inequality.
