Korean Wage/Income Gap
It is essential to understand that the correlation between the percentage of Koreans and wage/income gap percentage does not imply a direct cause-and-effect relationship. It remains uncertain whether the presence of Koreans influences an upward or downward trend in the level of wage/income gap percentage within an area, or if Koreans simply ended up residing in those areas with higher or lower levels of wage/income gap percentage due to other factors.
