I don’t get it.
Most of the jobs I see posted average $20/hour for skilled positions.
In my case, I want to live near mountains and get back in manufacturing. Even with years of experience most jobs I've seen offered would barely cover the cost of housing.

The cost of college is just laughable - these kids leave school with debt they will never be able to pay back.
It really is a mess and by design
And colleges will NEVER make anything more affordable. Why? They are run by leftists. It is designed to be an endless cycle of frickery.
Now Biden and his ilk can "forgive" the student loans, but the leftists that raked in the dough for the useless degrees get their money for "educating" these fine citizens.
Big Education.

Month in and month out the two top segments of the labor market doing the hiring are government and healthcare.
The rest is pretty mediocre. And that is ignoring the fact the monthly numbers are always revised down the following month.

Seems like just as many low to no skilled positions with such pay.
I guess that’s where we are. Sort of an odd double edged sword, isn’t it?

Niece completes her MBA at Emory in May and starts work 6/1 for her choice of 2 jobs she never even applied for that including benefits is well over $100K the 1st year.
The jobs are out there, they require performance though.

My wife's nephew is 25. He's married with a young son and his wife is pregnant again.
He makes over 100 grand a year doing pest control in rural Oklahoma. That's a pretty damn good living for this part of the country. His wife stays home and they're doing pretty well financially for a young couple.
And this dude is seriously one of the dumbest people I've ever met. He couldn't tell you what 6 × 8 is.
But he will work his arse off and never quit.

Life gets better and easier from generation to generation, and this dynamic did not skip Millennials or Gen Zers. Many in those generations have been "educated" that they're lot in life is a step down/harder in comparison to their parents by those that benefit from this "understanding".

Many millennials are worse off than their parents – a first in American history

Even though the US economy is growing – according to a recent CNN poll, 76% of Americans think it’s doing better than it has in decades – not everyone is prospering. Millennials are on track to be the first generation not to exceed their parents in terms of job status or income, studies show.

Well if mainstream media, the press corps of the Biden admin, is reporting it... it has to be true.

You post studies. Studies also say Miami will be underwater by 2040, racism is worse today than it was 100 years ago, diversity is out strength and Math is white supremacy.
Life gets better and easier from generation to generation, and this dynamic did not skip Millennials or Gen Zers. For this not to be the case, you'd have to argue that massive technological/medical advancements the last fifty years resulted in no net benefit to how humans live.

Biden's broke generation
Not just Sleepy Joe, lots of POTUS helped this happen from BOTH parties.
Want to be truly terrified, imagine a market that has passed 1 Quadrillion!
(skip to the bottom, sweet dreams tonight)
1 Quadrillion
1,000,000 = 1 million
1,000,000,000 = 1 billion
1,000,000,000,000 = 1 trillion
1,000,000,000,000,000 = 1 quadrillion
That may be the most terrifying number ever as that is based on ability to resell debt.

As opposed to what? What is your argument based on, if not data?

One of the interesting societal responses to major recessions is a decrease in life expectancy, and that has happened twice to millennials which is actually one reason why their outlook is projected to be less than their parents for the first time in history.
This data is posted on here every time this discussion comes up and people like you just reject it because it doesn't conform with your preconceived worldview and talking points. But the Great recession was bad, and our response to it was also bad, and it has created a terrible economic outlook for people around the ages of 25 to 40. Covid was the nail in the coffin.
You have to think about this not only in terms of how the recession affected the population that was just starting out in the workforce, but the fact that monetary policy following that recession was targeted specifically to artificially inflate the value of assets for older generations. So people in this population cohort experience not only significantly depressed economic outlooks, but higher prices for everyday goods and crucial staples of American life like housing.
