As far as I can tell you are agreeing with the statement, as you agree that factors other than the economy must be driving the increase in unhappiness.

Is increasing inequality not an economic factor? Inequality is a strong predictor of crime, which I think we'd agree is something which makes life objectively worse. So there's at least one economic factor which is causing an objective drop in quality of life.
