The U.S. economy is great by this measure, and the good times aren’t over. So why are Americans so sour?

The U.S. economy is experiencing a rare period of robust growth fueled by unprecedented investment, creating a lot of winners. However, despite these positive economic indicators, many Americans feel disconnected from these benefits. This disconnect raises questions about income inequality and access to opportunities, suggesting that while the economy is booming, the benefits aren't being evenly distributed. This disparity highlights deeper issues that could affect public sentiment and policy decisions in the future.
