    things are supposedly getting better where so many things around me are getting worse,

    But things are getting better. This isn’t to say we don’t have a lot of catching up to do, because of the damage that inflation has done, but the overwhelming amount of the numbers make it pretty clear that we are going in the right direction.

    I don’t think the metrics used by the media, ie the stock market

    This is not at all the metric we are using. You are specifically complaining about unemployment rate. Which is what this post is about. It’s funny to bitch about the media being misleading, while complaining about the market not representing the average joe…when the number being discussed in the article is not the market and does represent something good for the average joe.
