CLASS-DIVIDED CITIES: LA EDITION

Atlantic Cities has been exploring the growing class divide in America's largest cities, and posting maps where today's three major classes live:
• the lower-paid service worker class: 46.3% of LA workers, slightly lower than the national average, who make an average of $32k a year
• the creative class: 34.1% of LA workers, slightly higher than the national average, who make an average of $81k a year
• the shrinking blue collar class: 19.5% of LA workers, just below the national average, who make about $37k a year.
