1950s through that "unsustainable tech bubble."

Which, of course, wasn't all that important, other than to the stock market -- only something like 2% of Americans worked in tech in the 90s.

It wasn't all that long ago that working in an automobile factory in the U.S. was a stable, secure life. Today?

Relative to the way we were until 2001, no.

Your standard for comparison was an unsustainable tech bubble?

The tech bubble was unsustainable in the last year. For ten years, we had the longest peacetime expansion where unemployment dropped below 4%. In addition, we had the largest drop in welfare rolls since WW II.
