Why so many Americans are dissatisfied with a solid economy

Season 2024 Episode 339 | 7m 33s

There is a disconnect between seemingly solid economic numbers and the way people feel about this economy. Voters clearly were upset about the cost of living and that helped elect Donald Trump to a second term. Economics correspondent Paul Solman reports from Ohio on how Americans see this in the wake of the election.
