A majority of Americans wrongly believe that the country is in a recession, a new survey found.

Fascinating little window

  • Almost 60% of respondents wrongly believe that the country is in a recession (it hasn’t been since 2020)
  • 55% believe the economy is shrinking (it is growing)
  • 49% say unemployment is at a 50-year high (it’s close to a 50-year low)
  • 58% said the reason the economy is worsening is due to Biden’s mismanagement

    I start to check out once someone starts talking about “the economy”. It’s just a rich person circlejerk about “line goes up”. It doesn’t really impact me at all unless I get laid off. I guess, technically, I have a 401k but I doubt I’d ever truly be able to retire.

    Besides, I’m barely making ends meet. Any praise of the economy is going to ring hollow in my ears, because I sure as hell am not seeing any of the windfall.
