<human>: Is the economy really getting better?
<bot>: The U.S. economy has been recovering since the Great Recession, but there is still a lot of room for improvement. Unemployment rates have fallen significantly and economic growth has been positive in recent years. However, wages are still growing at a slower rate than they were before the recession. Additionally, inequality has grown significantly over this time period, with the top 1% seeing their incomes grow faster than those in other income brackets.
