While wages for jobs may have gone up a bit, prices for groceries and household items have gone up a lot. Renting or buying an apartment or home have also increased, adding to the burden. Health, car and home insurance prices have gone up. Things that affect people every day have increased in price yet wages have not kept up, therefore no disposable income. So while the stock market looks great and corporate profits are amazing, families are having to scrimp, save and budget to make ends meet. We are not thriving, we are surviving.

Thanks for this explanation of why there's so much dissatisfaction with the economy under Biden, Judd. The ratios of executive pay to workers' pay are outrageous. We have to do all we can to get Biden re-elected and flip the House so Democrats can take this on.
