As Peter Schiff has pointed out multiple times they are showing up in many of the new low paying jobs which is pushing out many entry level job seekers. The Boomers did not plan because they assumed what was would always be in spite of the job they did wrecking everything.
This is no doubt what many GI parents, including my own, pushed onto us. I probably disappointed my parents because I didn't end up with a cushy corporate job for 30+ years which seemed to be the norm in those days. It wasn't until shortly before they died during the late 1990s that they finally realized that for the most part that kind of security was no longer possible. Do you all feel as if the days or widespread unionism and workplace solidarity are gone forever?
