IF a great economic collapse is indeed unfolding, the condition of the up and coming labor force indicates a grave aftermath of grey listless population, a wondering generation of young people with no direction, and no vision of the future. Without a vision, the people will perish.

The Washington Times reported on the growing pessimism among young people entering into business and work environment. There is a widespread disillusionment with the system as a whole, and an increasing number of once well-adjusted white Americans stand out in the latest shift in the the standards of living.

It’s about as hard for a 20-something worker to find a job today as it was in 1986. The economy is growing at a slightly slower pace, but not by much. And yet young workers today are significantly more pessimistic about the possibility of success in America than their counterparts were in 1986, according to a new Fusion 2016 Issues poll reported in conjunction with the Washington Post — a shift that appears to reflect lingering damage from the Great Recession and more than a decade of wage stagnation for typical workers.
That rise in pessimism among millennials is concentrated among white people. It is most pronounced among whites who did not earn a college degree.
The Fusion poll replicated the questions from a Roper/Wall Street Journal poll of young Americans that was conducted in 1986… Both polls posed a series of questions about the American Dream: what it meant to individuals, whether it actually existed and, if it did, how hard it was to attain.
