Tell that to what used to be the "middle class" supported by one working family member and is now the "working class" barely supported by two working family member and three or more jobs because wages have not kept up with inflation.

Tell that to workers whose career is now flipping burgers, whose parents had careers manufacturing consumer products like referigerators, and industrial products like steam generators and transformers.

Tell that to recent college graduates burdened by six-digit college debt.

Investors on the other hand, the vast majority of them one-percenters, are delighted with the stock market.
