Why many are feeling sour about US economy despite job gains and a falling unemployment rate
– canadianbusiness.com
WASHINGTON – The unemployment rate no longer seems to reflect America’s mood.
Friday’s strong jobs report showed that the jobless rate — the most closely watched gauge of the economy’s health — is down to 5.8 per cent. A year ago, the rate was 7.2 per cent. Five years ago, it was 10 per cent.

Many Americans don’t feel they’ve benefited from falling unemployment any more than they have from a sustained rise in the stock market or from solid U.S. economic growth.
Some hints of their discontent can be found within an otherwise glowing jobs report for October: Wages that are barely growing and a stubbornly low proportion of adults who either have a job or are looking for one…
