The misery index is falling fast (axios.com)


The misery index,
invented by economist Arthur Okun in the 1970s as a shorthand for economic discomfort, is a crude measure, though simplicity can be a virtue.

By the numbers: In May, the index was 7.8%. That is lower than the misery indexes in the months that Ronald Reagan (11.4%), Bill Clinton (8.7%), George W. Bush (9%) and Barack Obama (9.5%) were re-elected.
