Source/headline of this story aside, this is an ongoing issue that's caused many pain - I'm still earning 30% less than I did when the economy crashed in 2009 and I haven't seen a single raise in all those years. I'm happy to have a job - many less educated are scared - I worry too - we're not really in a boom right now, even though unemployment is low, so at least those who want to work can get a job, but perhaps not a great one. I know anecdotal evidence isn't all that valuable, but if he said it was "partly" to blame, I can't argue that she could have reemphasized a little perhaps. She didn't lose by much, so it's easy to nitpick.
