    Have you tried to actually find a job in the last 2 years? It’s almost impossible despite loads of “we’re hiring!” sighns that are offering less than they were 2 years ago

    Most Americans do not care what inflation in the UK or Germany is. They care what it looks like here, and when most Americans were living paycheck to paycheck before Biden took over, inflation hits them even harder.

    Maybe average income has gone up that much the last 4 years, but most people’s income has been essentially flat for the last 4. The majority of Americans make less than $30 an hour, which is inadequate to live on nearly anywhere in the country.

    GDP is great if you have stocks and bonds. It’s meaningless to your average person who is barely able to put anything into a 401(k).

      So you got 6 different metrics about a good economy and your answer is… that it feels hard to find a job?

      Like anyone in IT, I get bombarded by offers on LinkedIn and salaries kept growing just fine.

      The numbers clearly say that more people are employed and less are on food stamps, so it could be that you need to do something about yourself?

        Believe it or not, most people don’t work in IT, and millions of Americans don’t think the economy is working properly.

          Well, feel free to provide some numbers, claiming what millions think is not helping much.

            I have an opinion poll on the matter right here.

              You mistakenly linked a poll about sexism in America, you probably meant to link something about economy…

      So your evidence that the economy was broken under Biden is your feelings.

      Cool.
