In the 1920s, many Americans were optimistic about the economy, as the decade was marked by significant industrial growth, technological advancements, and the rise of consumer culture. The stock market boomed, and people enjoyed increased disposable income, leading to a sense of prosperity and confidence in the future.

The prosperity of the 1920s primarily benefited the wealthy and middle-class Americans, as they enjoyed rising incomes, increased consumer spending, and access to new luxuries and technologies.

Overall, the decade is often characterized by a widening income gap between the affluent and the less fortunate.
