First, over the past 15 years, the Black-White economic mobility gap decreased, while the mobility gap between White children from low- and high-income families increased. Despite a decrease in the racial mobility gap between the 1978 cohort and the 1992 cohort, the average income of White adults from low-income backgrounds in the 1992 cohort is still 41 percent higher than the average income of Black adults raised in low-income households. While the average incomes of Black individuals increased between the 1978 and 1992 cohorts, the mobility gap also declined due to lower average incomes for White adults from low-income households between the 1978 cohort and the 1992 cohort.
