I filed my taxes with Turbo Tax the other day and they compared my salary to other people my age (27) in my state (Oregon), I didn't double check the numbers but Turbo Tax reported that I made about 5 times the average 27 year old in Oregon.
What I've noticed is that there is a huge inequality gap among millennials as well, a lot of millennials have crushing debt and poor job prospects yes -- but others get a job at FAANG at 21. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out as millennials age.

Both trades were protected to a point by not going to war and having the means to have kids. If we still went with our father's trades as last names, the next generation would probably be full (relatively) of Jane and Joe Engineer.
- loraa 8y agoWhen it comes to that inequality, parents play a huge role as well. I had friends growing up whose parents paid all their bills, bought their car, bought their condo, gave them an 'allowance', so when everything is free for you, and you never have to stress. It makes life easier.
