‘I cannot afford to live’: Gen Z is full of financial angst despite inheriting a golden job market

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

So this is an editorial with some data cited so I will attack it on those merits.

1. The job market is largely a dog and pony show. Companies have all the power in the world when it comes to good jobs. The “golden job market” is for low paying jobs that suck to do. Rates need to go up full stop.
2. They are correct in housing being a huge issue for both Z and Millennials. It missed the shot however for failing to identify corporate inclusion into the housing market driving up costs. Not to mention the parasite class known as landlords which has been a problem since the era of Lords and Serfs.
3. The inflation argument is a misdirection. Look at corporate profits. The capital class is literally bleeding the worker class dry, while also lowering the quality of service/products.

I could go on but I encourage others to actually read the article and form your own opinions. CNN isn’t as biased as Fox or MSNBC but they ultimately put a liberal (as in liberal markets) spin on the news they choose to report.

I'm convinced America's gilded age never ended.

Ok where is the market golden at? Its corroded aluminum where i am
