I agree, this is cyclical. The jobs economy feels a lot like the late 80s to me. I graduated college then, and entered into a roaring jobs market. Under leadership from right and left (Reagan and Clinton), the American economy provided a great opportunity to establish a baseline income and start saving for the future. I feel this gave people of my generation a huge step up. I think that people who graduated at other times (i.e. 2009) had a much rougher start. It's just the luck of the game. It feels about the same to me now. I hope so, for today's grads sake.
