I’m not sure what this graph is really saying. Is it inflation adjusted?

Guessing it’s purchasing power - recently looked at some online calculators that adjusted wages from past years to the present. You can also find median income. I calculated that my grandfather’s business produced the equivalent of $2.5M in purchasing power annually in the 1930’s during the Depression. Get this, he butchered and sold roasted pigs!

With his profits he bought rental properties and eventually sold his meat market. He also took the whole fam and spent a year living abroad…

No but you should look in relevant dollars as no generation in history from a pure purchasing power or overall dollars have ever been paid even 40% of what millenials and Gen Z are getting.

They are staggeringly well paid far younger than any generations in the history of the world

My grandparents (now passed away) bought their home in HI for $1200. Today I doubt you could touch a SFH for less than $1M in the area.

In the 1950’s my FIL bought 40 acres in MI at less than $10 an acre. Today the hunting property - still no power nor septic - is worth over $100K.

Now run salaries for millenials and Gen Z vs previous generations, interest rates are still be,ow historical norms and these are by far the best paid 2 generations in history with staggering buying power

What career advice would you give to a 25 year old? Recently got diagnosed with a lifelong disability and it’s really made me contemplate what’s most important to me in terms of my job and how I’m ever going to “make it” in my career with a debilitating condition… or whether I even want to, for that matter. I used to be really ambitious and now all I want is to live well and put my health first

Has anyone here been able to recover from career setbacks caused by Dot Com, 9-11, or Great Recession economy? Just turned 40 with 15 years of relevant industry experience, and my Big 4 employer brought me in at a level designed for 25 year-olds. Career progression is apparently based on time in role rather than performance, so I’ll have to spend 8 years climbing back to the level I was at pre-recession. Is there another way, or is my career stuck in neutral?
