It is all in the numbers: the economy is doing really well. Workers are raises are outpacing inflation and unemployment is still near historic lows. But how people feel about it all is a messier, very political story.
This episode: Justice reporter Deepa Shivaram, national political correspondent Mara Liasson, and chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley.
The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
