And yet still not tell the whole story.

Labor participation may be higher because more older people need to work instead of retire.

Unemployment may be lower because we were recovering from a recession in 1993.

The poverty rate may be lower but how many people are "just above" the poverty rate and still struggling?

The increase in median wages/income may not have accrued in an equitable manner and that may not show in the charts.

Has the increased wage/income in each quintile kept up with the increase in prices for necessities? For example, if your income goes up 25% but your rent goes up 200% and your grocery costs go up 100%, then you're losing.Also does this account for people working multiple jobs or needing additional sources of income?

For the most part I'm not being rhetorical, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt because to my ears, it sounds like you're the one gaslighting Americans.

With that said, all of that may not be due to NAFTA, but dismissing the insecurity of a lot of people by saying "they're stupid" is not an argument.

And if you do think that everything is better than it used to be for the average person, what is your advice to the people who think differently?
