The 'hollowing-out' of the Middle Class (for most of the post WW II era the 'engine' of American growth and wealth creation), the stagnation in wages, the increased level of stress, hours worked, etc., has been a-building for three decades or so... so I don't expect it will be reversible on a dime.

It will take time to undo the damage and regain our competitiveness.
