Could it be that these metrics are insufficient or inaccurate indicators of the deep structural problems facing American capitalism that are driving intense anxiety and precarity for most Americans?

If someone comes along and says “good news, unemployment is low and we’re not facing a recession” to someone working three precarious gig jobs just to stay alive while their kids sink back into poverty and they’re unsure how to afford their student loan payments, those metrics might not seem super relevant.
