Producers also are happy. So is the Federal Reserve. And, bulging with tax revenues, the Treasury is too. And the White House, of course. Households are happy because incomes have been rising, if only recently and by small amounts in many instances.
Executives are happy about the persistence of good profits.
The Federal Reserve is happy about low inflation numbers. And investors in stocks are exuberant. Not everyone is happy with the economy, of course, since that is an impossibility in a society so large and diverse. And, as everyone knows, there is a good deal more to life than an expanding economy. Still, it should be noted that economists repeatedly point out that rarely have so many segments of America enjoyed good times together.
