London  -  Two Jewish men — one in his 70s and the other in his 30s — were stabbed and seriously wounded on Wednesday in the heavily Jewish London neighbourhood of Golders Green in an antisemitic terror attack, the latest in a spate of incidents targeting British Jews. Both men were treated at the scene and taken to the hospital. In a statement, the Metropolitan Police described the victims’ condition as stable. The BBC earlier said they were seriously wounded.

Many inequality scholars view skill-biased technological change—the computerization of workplaces that favours high-skilled workers—as the main cause of rising wage inequality in America, while institutional factors are generally relegated to a secondary role. The evidence presented in this article, however, does not support this widely held view.
