Your original claim implies that this should make us not concerned about the the well-being of the poorest 10% today, though. Which I think is untrue — there are still tons of real injustices (prison system etc) that afflict those people. Which is what “inequality” talk targets.
Everything is contrast. The employment rate is bad because it used to be better - if it was even worse before and it'd increased, we'd be happier about it.

Right but it’s worse in absolute terms! If all you’re saying is “a high Gini coefficient is not necessarily bad” then I agree with you, but I think this is a fairly weak claim and doesn’t make concern about inequality/the poor invalid.
