In Texas, the difference in pay between high earners and those with average wages is growing. Researchers found that it now takes a significant amount of money to be among the top paid workers. The state's median annual wage is lower than what is needed to join the highest paid group.

To be in this group, a worker must make more than two and a half times the median wage. Further information on this topic can be found through a study that analyzed data from the Bureau of Labor. The study's findings provide more details on the pay disparity in Texas.
