[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1501689, member: 43436"] That's fine, and we're entitled to our opinions, but many of the comments you've written are short sighted. The "me" generation (Millennials) that you've pointed out is larger than that of the Baby Boomers. The largest number of Millennials were born in the latter half of the 1990s and are now joining the work force. So... you have a large number of people joining the work force, but few exiting it (because Boomers are choosing not to retire, for whatever reason). What do you think is going to happen? That doesn't even begin to consider the weak economy, outsourcing, and the general decrease in real compensation over the past 20 years (UPS drivers are a big exception). Heck, I'm a(n older) Millennial, and when I was 16 I worked at a grocery store for $7.50/hour; the same store today pays $7.25 -- 16 years later... but the point is, the number of Boomers not retiring IS negatively impacting the economy. They have a right to work... but like I said, that doesn't change the fact that they're preventing the "me" generation from getting good paying jobs. [/QUOTE]
