Worse then that I was looking at job listing that were requireing a bachelor degree and it paid 16 an hour. Motherfucker I got GED and make more than that. Crazy. And my son got his job making 13 but he isn’t getting the hours needed to live. My oldest makes 13.50 and living in Dallas.

It’s called Gen Z because it’s the last generation. (Z is the last letter in the alphabet).

Hard indicators show the economy is relatively healthy on paper: The US added a higher-than-expected number of jobs in May, inflation is getting under control, and the unemployment rate is low.
Unemployment rate is irrelevant. What matters is how much these jobs pay.
1 in 4 Americans is functionally unemployed, i.e. they have a job, but it doesn’t pay a living wage.
That’s the crisis that the US is currently in.
This hits home, I managed to score a pretty sick job at a tech company and I was just laid off this week, what the hell am I going to do now?
