The divide between rich and poor in California has been growing for decades, with most of the jobs created in the state paying wages at opposite ends of the spectrum and the top earners pulling down the biggest gains, according to a report from a nonprofit research group. The California Budget Project said in the report, to be released today, that wages for people toiling at the bottom of the pay range dropped 7.2% over the 27 years studied, while Californians at the other end of the range saw their pay rise 18.4%. Most of the jobs that will be added to the economy well into the next decade probably will pay either quite well or relatively little, the report said, at either about $83,000 a year or $21,000 a year.
