Oh the horror, the least experienced generation is the least paid, clearly society is at fault.
You clearly didn't read or understand the article. Millennials are making less than older generations did at their age. Has nothing to do with experience.

I did have very low living standards when I started out. Now after working the past 30 years or so I am pretty set. Back then I often worked 3 jobs at once but of course there was no internet to whine about how tough my life was so I just did what was needed. Carry on, girls.

Productivity is up, profits are up but wages are stagnant. Jobs more competitive and scarcer in major cities. It's about workers getting the shaft on wages while the people at top collect more. You call taking that kinda stick up the behind, personal initiative or whatever other bootlicking canard you boomers love to throw at us.

I work at a job that pays me just fine. I make over 50k. I shouldn't be complaining but I know what it means to be underpaid for the work I do. I know businesses are reaping in on these low wages.

Complaining about it isn't being a whiner, you guys are just tools. Simply tools. You guys have no idea how utterly ridiculous you guys sound by telling others how they should "suck it up".

Its pathetic.

Millennials are way more educated than their parents. They're also paid less. - Vox
You would never know it. I find most of them to be incredibly ignorant (putting it nicely) or stupid, being more honest.

Education today isn't what it was when my parents were in college. For at least their entire Freshman year these days, students have to be taught what our parents learned in H.S.

Lol. Right no one is "forcing" you to work at that sandwich shop, choose one that pays 8.50. LOL

You old guys are so predictable. The point is to show how ridiculous the job market is now.

You guys aren't tough for taking the stick corporate America is shoving up your behind with a smile on your face. You're just looking like tools to the next generation

I feel sorry for kids today, I really do. It's heartbreaking that I have to have a job 1/1000 GUYS (no women ...never seen one EVER) can do that is very highly skilled, dangerous (easy to kill yourself or someone else if you get careless) to make it. I said "make it" not rolling in dough. People ask me all the time about my job. Some even give it a try. They usually don't last after lunch on the first day. "Something" always gets them. Heights and claustrophobia are big players to remove potential personnel in a big hurry. Forget everything else that blows!

Remember, if you don't like millennials, that's the fault of your generation and generation x. You are the ones who raised them and created the environment that they grew up in.
