Speaking economically. Living in greater comfort, have more luxury items, are better off nutritionally, etc. The percentage of people living below the poverty level (a somewhat arbitrary designation anyway) hasn't varied by more than a few percentage points in decades but the standard of living has gone up, even for those at or below the poverty level.
