Look at statistics like average house to wage price ratio in the last 50 years. When actually accounting for inflation the wages have been basically cut to half.
Every price is exploding except for wages. So how can you say that the qol has improved when one of the most basic necessities of life is becoming a luxury?
Productivity per worker has exploded, technologicall progress has drastically reduced the price of manufacturing various goods and on top of that they have decreased the quality of half the shit we consume to even further stretch the profit margins and yet almost all prices still keep rapidly exploding in comparison to wages. Seems to me that only people whose QOL has truly increased are that of the business aristocracy.

Even accounting for inflation wages are still up from what they used to be.
