My theory is the buoyed perception of the economy is because there are still surplus jobs available in many middle-class industries. IT workers may be getting laid off en masse by several large companies but (for now) they’ve been able to get jobs elsewhere.
In reality the average person or middle class family is suffering though and it isn’t perception. I literally went through grocery and consumables receipts and many categories of items cost 1.5 to 2x what they cost 18 months ago.
I get really sick of being told by douchey think pieces that things that are happening aren’t happening, and vice versa. Fuck whoevers poll numbers they are trying to boost.
