If people don't have jobs, they don't get money, hence growing gap. Doesn't help that moving jobs away allows the rich to profit even more. If there were enough open jobs here, we probably would not have nearly as bad a gap.
The gap is also racial. I agree that the rich are getting richer, and that it's a problem, but racism is still endemic.

If there were a demand for jobs, race should not matter, as anyone wanting to work could get a job.
