401ks are both voluntary and allow a selection of investments, so what do you mean “it’s not like people have a choice there”?
Pension funds are also mostly invested in stocks, so anyone with a pension also does better.
Like, you are saying the existence of people who are having it tough means the economy isn’t improving, and circumscribing anyone who may be doing better. Of course the economy is bad for people with the worst situations - that’s a tautology. The question is, is the wide middle doing better? Are fewer people in that situation?
