What’s the average skill set?

"Millennials lost a lot of ground due to the recession, when wages were depressed."

.. uh.. due to the OBAMA GREATER DEPRESSION

[ForYourChildren]

“Average Americans Can No Longer Afford Average New Cars”

The Pew Research Center found that “the household income of young adults with less than a bachelor’s degree has declined in real terms since 1984.”

[ForYourChildren]

“This issue of affordability isn’t just about the price of cars. It’s about the stagnation of wages,” Bell said. “Car costs are not rising all that quickly over time, but things like health care and college costs are going up and wages aren’t [keeping up]. Budgets are being stretched.”

It’s tempting to blame millennials themselves for dropping out of school at such a young age. BUT, look at what they were “taught.” Who in his right mind would stay in school and study that crap? I don’t blame millennials. I feel kind of sorry for them. I blame their so-called teachers. And us for allowing them to be hired.

The political establishment’s war on the middle class is a big success.

[The Toll]

Be a plumber. No debt and charge all the retarded millennials an arm and a leg to take a dump. The World is going to need men something awful.

[Purdue77]

The quandary many millennials faced is that they knew they needed a degree to boost their earnings but they couldn't get a degree without taking on massive amounts of debt.

What a load of crap. No one needed to take on a massive amount of debt to get a degree. They chose to do so in order to feed their desire and not their need.

>>you’ll notice that many millennials came of age during the Great Recession and have earned lower salaries as a result.

Many baby boomers and Generation X (baby busters, who fell in between two baby booms) also earn lower salaries since the “Great” Recession.

How did the Rats’ housing crisis (orchestrated by the likes of Barney Frank and his boy toy, Jamie Gorelick, and others) pan out for the Party that created it? They took back Congress, that’s how it worked out.

[roadcat]

Millennials have now surpassed baby boomers as the country's largest generation.

I didn't realize this. I thought there weren't going to be enough younger people to take care of us boomers. That's a relief to know someone will change our Depends.

[kvanbrunt2]

there was the term “yuppies” for the young urban professionals that did their thing and maybe i was one that bought my house and rehabbed it in philly here. back in the late 90’s we used a term for some of the newbies who just didn’t seem to have everything together. didn’t have the chops to make a six figure salary in an urban environment that they wanted to live in. we called them “yuffies”. the young urban failures. these are them.

Doesn’t depend on the Job? I mean if your flipping hamburgers at 8.00 bucks an hr. That is more than what I was getting at Boeing in 1974 $4.74 an hour..

Millenials are losing to all the GD H1B wogs

[Flick Lives]

The terms millennials, boomers, gen-x, gen-y, etc are artificial constructs designed to divide people. There are no generational demarcations. People are born every day of every year, over the centuries. Always have been throughout time.

This is just more groupism pushed by the media.

[vpintheak]

The “have to get to college” push is huge, and I think o my lately has there been any push back at all.
Lots of useless degrees, earning crap money, many millenials feel angry. Some don’t know why, others know they have been lied to, and are angry. We are left with a generation n of pansies.

[Robert DeLong]

That’s because their education is 50% less in quality than the baby boomers, who never had social justice warrior classes, safe spaces, and who knows what other nonsense is being offered in lieu of knowledge useful for gainful employment in the real world. As fop the debt, those students loans are rarely used for their education.
