Some of this is exaggerated by different cost of living levels across a large and diverse economy such as USA.  The report has an annual income $380K cutoff as upper class which clearly is not true where I live.  Ideally such an analysis defines income cutoffs for class by zip code.  The result could very well be the same but I suspect the level of decrease in mobility might be less than what this report would suggest.


Maybe, but there is the "hollowing out" factor as well.
