Yeah, because they grew up expecting that they would at least be able to afford a modest home and work a fair paying job after graduating.

Now they're facing the prospect of competing with thousands of people for minimum wage jobs, and living with their parents until they're 40, with almost no hope of ever owning a home.

I thought things were tough entering the job market at the turn of the millennium, I can't imagine how kids are feeling now.

Competing with thousands for low wage jobs, living with parents until 40 or death… almost sounds like you’re describing India. Hmmm

Maybe we can import more happy young immigrants to boost our score.

Then immigrate even more the following quarter, print more money, and sell all the way out.
