    Yeah, looking at those charts it seems like things are really just back to the same before the pandemic. It’s possible people were getting more with things like increased unemployment or stimulus checks during the pandemic so it feels like less now? But based on just the charts it doesn’t seem people are any better/worse off (especially since employment data from the pandemic has a lot of caveats).
