Official figures published this week showed that wages in Britain are increasing at their fastest rate for ten years, with weekly earnings up 3.4 percent at the end of last year.
Despite all the orchestrated gloom from the pro-EU brigade, living standards here have now risen for the tenth month in a row.
This improvement was accompanied by a further expansion in the workforce by 141,000 over the past three months, while the overall unemployment rate fell to just four percent, its lowest since early 1975.
According to recent independent analysis, Britain is the most attractive place in Europe for direct investment.
It is a different story in the anaemic eurozone, where the unemployment rate of 7.9 percent is almost double that of Britain's.
In France it is even higher, at 8.9 percent, and, in Spain, the figure reaches a dismal 14.7 percent.
The jobs crisis reflects a wider economic malaise on the continent.
New statistics this month revealed industrial output in the eurozone was down 3.3 percent compared with last year.
Even Germany is facing a real chance of recession.
Driven by a fall in industrial production, the German economy shrank by 0.2 percent in the third quarter of last year.
Long the dominant force in European politics, Angela Merkel is seeing her authority rapidly erode as she enters the twilight of her chancellorship.
Her opposite number in France President Emmanuel Macron, who regards himself as the new champion of the federalist cause, is engulfed by an even deeper crisis as the country's economic woes feed a populist revolt against his rule.
In recent polls, 70 percent of the public have expressed their disapproval of his presidency.
The reality is that the European project is failing badly.
In a pattern of relentless self-harm, the EU has continually sacrificed economic pragmatism on the altar of federalist ideology.
It is exactly 20 years ago this month since Brussels launched the single currency.
Hailed in 1999 as an engine of growth, it has turned out to be an instrument for jobs destruction and economic paralysis.
That is because the euro was never really a monetary tool at all, but rather was seen by its advocates as a political weapon to impose unity.
In the quest to build the new superstate, national needs and interests count for nothing.
As a result, the single currency has not only created a permanent mood of crisis, but has also pulverised the concept of national sovereignty, as shown by the recent experiences of Greece and Italy, whose budgets are subject to the diktats of Brussels officialdom.
The EU has learnt no lessons from its failures.
Instead its federalist ambitions have intensified.
To the true believers, the solution to every problem is more EU intervention, more integration.
That was graphically illustrated on Tuesday in the German city of Aachen, where Merkel and Macron signed a new treaty promising closer co-operation in order to promote European unity.
Brimming with his usual federalist fervour, Macron argued the Aachen agreement would "bolster Europe's capacity to act autonomously", while Merkel said it would contribute "to the emergence of a European army".
The EU already has its own flag, anthem, parliament, currency, embassies, executive, laws and civil service.
Now it is planning the creation of its own armed forces.
That is why the Aachen deal has been welcomed by the high priests of the federalist creed.
Declaring that "Europe needs a revival of faith", Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council, expressed the hope that the accord would pave the way "for integration".
With even more enthusiasm, the Belgian politician Guy Verhofstadt proclaimed "a strong Franco-German alliance is crucial to moving Europe forward".
Yet such language is deluded: Europe is not moving, it is drowning.
Because the integrationist project has been imposed by the elite without any mandate, it lacks popular legitimacy.
It has therefore become a recipe for friction, chaos and resentment, as shown in the wave of populist movements across Europe.
Brexit was a courageous part of that rebellion.
Whatever Remainers shout, the British people knew we would be better off out of this mess.
