Everybody knows how tough it’s been for a generation of young Americans just hitting the workforce – or trying to – in the last half dozen years. American twenty-somethings have walked straight into a wall of recession. Been knocked back into parents’ homes and recalculations of what life will bring.
My guest today Jennifer Silva says that recalculation is deeper than you may understand – especially for low-income Americans. Back on their heels and feeling betrayed, she says, they are redefining the American dream sharply downward.
This hour, On Point: young Americans’ new dreams.
