No. There's other economic indicators that you could reasonable talk about - like the economy is hot and there's near-total employment, but what's the quality of life like for most Americans? Is that improving? Are people paying their mortgages and getting food on the table?

Because if all those gains are going to a few hundred people they don't mean shit.

True and the fact is that virtually every working American has had an earnings increase. @CountScrofula

@CountScrofula Yep, incomes are rising at a faster rate than they have since the early '90s. According to the BLS.
