I don't really care about "the economy".
I care about the increase in costs, increases in productivity and the non-increases in wages.
The economy is how well companies are extracting profit. Idk what the word is for what I care about.

I think what you're looking for is Standard of Living. The economy may be doing well but the standard of living is stagnant or going down for many.
