Gen Z is full of financial angst despite inheriting a golden labor market | CNN Business
www.cnn.com
Gen Z is coming into the workforce and — in the grand tradition of what Millennials cringe-ily called “adulting” — they’re complaining about how much easier older generations have had it financially.

    A job market does not itself qualify as “golden” when it offers slave wages to the populace.

    The oligarchs directing the media can keep up that capitalist desperation slant, but they might want to be mindful of the consequences. History might have something to say about that.

    What the fuck is a golden job market. Because what I’m seeing in my area is jobs paying below market average and requiring experience and qualifications way above entry level, for entry level jobs. Then nothing in between, jumping up to higher ranked administrative jobs that again, have ridiculous experience requirements

    Golden job market?

    Minimum wage in my state equates to about half of what a livable wage would be and prices are only going up on basics.

    My idea of a golden job market is working a single 40 hour week and being able to own a home and afford to keep my teeth.
