By 1956 an economic boom had been going on for the best part of a decade. Sound familiar? It's only natural that graduates of an era where jobs are easy to come by will be more frivolous about where they work and the conditions they expect.
When I left school in 1988 it was very hard to get work - there were waiting lists for jobs at McDonalds for example. The "Gen Xers" I know have similar memories and are generally more cautious about quitting a job without something else to go to. Now that the economy's tanking I think attitudes will change. The article's assertion that "their sense of entitlement is an ingrained trait that will likely resurface in a stronger job market" looks pretty bogus to me.
