While the US economy is doing great, it feels like the US workers are doing worse than ever. Spiraling healthcare costs, unaffordable housing, student debt and a lack of real wage growth are all pinching the middle class out of existence. Unemployment is low, but many of the job gains are in low skill temp positions and the gig economy.
As is usual for the past 20 years, capital is doing great while labor suffers.
