Pessimisic

A new poll by Fusion 2016 claims that young workers today are more pessimistic than those surveyed in 1986 (and they have good reason to be). 29% today, compared to 12% in 1986, felt that the American dream 'is not really alive', while 70% of whites without college degrees said the dream has become harder to achieve. Young Americans of colour showed no change responding to the same question despite the fact that median household income for whites age 25-34 was $58,197 compared to $43,957 for blacks. John Ayers
