      Paywalled + you clearly didn’t read(Or understand) the article, it talks about employment and political positions in absolute numbers, especially ignoring how population in the US has boomed in the last few decades.

      Talk about writing with a bias.

      Why does the title claim the article is about gen z being “rich” (which to me would indicate either a high income or a lot of property), when the article only talks about employment numbers? Employment itself doesnt make one rich. The problem isnt the amount of jobs, but the income they offer.

        Did you read? They make more and own homes earlier and in greater numbers than boomers. Millennials have had a much rougher time but that has largely been corrected.

    only some? i was in fifth grade worrying about getting a job and how i’d stay alive otherwise. we need FDR back god fucking dammit. give us another WPA.

    In one of its most famous projects, Federal Project Number One, the WPA employed musicians, artists, writers, actors and directors in arts, drama, media, and literacy projects.[1] The five projects dedicated to these were the Federal Writers’ Project (FWP), the Historical Records Survey (HRS), the Federal Theatre Project (FTP), the Federal Music Project (FMP), and the Federal Art Project (FAP). In the Historical Records Survey, for instance, many former slaves in the South were interviewed; these documents are of immense importance to American history. Theater and music groups toured throughout the United States and gave more than 225,000 performances. Archaeological investigations under the WPA were influential in the rediscovery of pre-Columbian Native American cultures, and the development of professional archaeology in the US.
