This is the most disconnected, condescending, poorly critically analyzed article I’ve seen in my life. This is from Allison Morrow who apparently lives in a bubble.
It also shows how the Center for American Progress are a bunch of pro corporate shills
Some highlights:
“This is the best economy we’ve seen for younger workers that anybody can remember, says Brendan Duke, senior director for economic policy at the Center for American Progress”
“It’s important to remember, Duke tells me, that younger workers are always starting out at a disadvantage when they enter the workforce. “
“One giant difference between now and any other moment in history: Gen Z is entering adulthood armed with a menagerie of social platforms where they can publicly broadcast their financial angst, or, conversely, gawk at peers who are having a better time thanks to generational wealth.”
“It took a long time, but Millennials have, in some ways, caught up.”

Edit: Update it appears the shill she cites from CAP who claims to be an economist while only having a masters in public affairs is applauding her article at his Twitter handle @brendan_duke he is also arguing that income inequality is going down
Surprised no one has expressed their opinion to him yet.
