Today, many Americans are seeing their quality of life seriously decline. Prices have risen so much that even a run-of-the-mill grocery store trip has become unaffordable for a decent amount of people. This has driven up sales at dollar stores, as Americans search for affordable alternatives.
Much of the country is also dealing with stress as furloughs take place. Multiple businesses, especially those in the tech industry, have begun laying off workers. This comes amid inflation and various negative economic projections for the future ahead.
Now, a new report shows the life expectancy rate in the United States is on a decline as well.
