From the WSJ:
American men in their 30s today are worse off than their fathers’ generation, a reversal from just a decade ago, when sons generally were better off than their fathers, a new study finds.
Well, I’m in my 30s, but I don’t know that I’m worse off than my father was when we was my age. I suspect I’m probably better off, or at least as well off. Of course the comparison isn’t entirely (or even partially) fair, since my dad was mostly stay-at-home. I guess the upshot is that I don’t feel any kind of disparity between the lives my parents lived and the life I’m living now, and so, is there really any disparity at all? If a demographic falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?
