Not in the US, but our economy generally piggybacks on the US economy, and it is the worst I have ever seen in my lifetime. Cost of living is up, buying power is down, and I don't think I have received a raise in ages. People dying in a "first world" country because they can't afford to turn on the ac/heat is insane.

I am flying back to the US to visit some family for the first time in about six years, and the cost has tripled since then. A five day visit is costing me more than a month salary.
