Tell these Americans that the economy is humming, that median wage growth has nudged ahead of the core inflation rate, and that everything’s grand, and you’re likely to see a roll of the eyes.

That’s unfortunate and hopefully you can get a raise or a better job but apparently unemployment is low overall and wage growth is outpacing inflation for most people.

my health insurnace is a bif deal since my wife has health issues but I have been looking and I dunno. places do not want to seem to pay an ask I have for a rate that would put me on par with inflation based on 2020. I also don’t know anyone else whos wage has outpaced inflation. Folks I know at the low end have sorta maybe kept pace (prices doubled and their wages nearly doubled). but that is a group coming from being underpaid to begin with.
