Yes, there is more prosperity, but there’s also other bad things that boomers never had to deal with.
From 1945-1970’s you could get a job fresh out of high school and keep it for decades, retire and all is good. Today, there are no jobs, except minimum page dead-end jobs, and sales jobs, that demand no experience, so people graduating from high school and college today can’t get jobs. You do everything right, you keep your nose clean, no criminal record, finish your degree, and the job market says you’re worthless. No job for you.
Then those same people who can’t find jobs get lectured by people who have held their jobs for dozens of years and don’t realize how bad the job market is.
Career changers get hit by this no experience problem, when employers don’t count any of their previous experience and treat them as 0 experience.
