Millennials have it worse than any other generation, study says

• greenyoda 11y ago
  "Millennials have it worse than any other generation, study says" Really? Worse than the guys who were teens in the 60s and got drafted and sent to Viet Nam? Personally, I'd trade college debt and a slow job market for being sent to war any day. "Millennials. those born between 1980 and the mid-90s, are earning significantly less than the national average" I'd expect that people who are near the beginning of their careers would be earning less than people who are mid-career or nearing retirement. Comparing them to the national average doesn't make sense. You'd need to compare them with what people in previous generations made when they were the same age. Also, why does the graph in the article, which shows the rate of change of income for various age cohorts, omit the age groups from 30-64 (most of the working population)? The original article in The Guardian that this seems to be based on is less click-baity and more substantial: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/07/revealed-30-year-economic-betrayal-dragging-down-generation-y-income http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/07/revealed-30-yea...

    In other words: They have it worse financially and some folks think that money is the only thing that matters.
