There's a 19% gap between the "middle 60%" and the 1% that has a bunch of money.
Idk who has decided these numbers or why they're significant. Seems pretty arbitrary
This article linked to this page to explain why they chose that definition of middle class. It's because statisticians like it so yeah, pretty arbitrary.
