bad news for the kids...

"Young earn less than parents did"
Young people entering the job market today may be better educated, but they're earning less money than their parents did a generation ago.

phooey!
bucking the trend, i'd just like to point out that just starting out, i'm making almost as much as my dad makes now!
but i'm going to go ahead and blame inflation for blowing this statistic out of the water. the comparison compares current young peoples' salaries to the salaries of their parents as young people adjusted for inflation. inflation's a bitch.
