Look at this graph: http://www.zerohedge.com/sites/default/files/images/user5/imageroot/madoff/ABC%20Feb%202%20-%20comp.jpg
I'm not sure how these surveys differ in methodology, but that gap is growing (and the ABC line isn't moving anywhere that we want to go).
"It’s -6 among those with the highest incomes but -75 among those with the lowest, -39 among people who’ve attended college vs. -70 among those who never finished high school (their lowest since November), -46 among homeowners but -61 among renters (their lowest since October) and -47 among men vs. -52 among women. Notable this week is the racial gap, -51 among whites (a point from their lowest ever) vs. -47 among blacks"
Clearly those who are hurt most in the current economic reality are the unhappiest. But damn... those are some sad statistics.
