Interesting statistics, but given your title, "Equality through
Reaganomics?", it would be nice if you could provide us with a
clue as to which of this administration's policies might be credited
with bringing about this state of affairs.  "Post hoc, ergo propter
hoc", is insufficient.  This is not a command economy, fortunately,
and there are social and economic forces at play that are quite
orthogonal to the goals of this administration.
