For example, in the 1950s and 1960s a 17 year old white male without a high school diploma could make enough money as a carpenter or a garbage man to buy a house, own 1 or 2 cars, and support about 5 people all by himself in the 1950s and 1960s.
However, this has become less and less true every since. As a worker I was always in demand and I was paid sometimes 3 times the minimum wage to get someone as skilled as I was even at age 12 years old with my hands because my father had already trained me to be an electrician ongoing between about age 10 and 17. So, I was always in demand. Also, I was always big for my age and went from 5 foot 2 to 5 foot 10 between age 12 to 13 so I totally looked like an adult of 18 or 20 years old and I was capable of acting like an adult too because I had been trained that way by my parents to always be polite because I had been raised very churchgoing and so I was trained to be very polite because of this especially to women of all ages. So, if I had a girlfriend from age 15 on their mother's always thought I was wonderful while I was dating them.
The point I'm trying to make here is if people under 30 years old cannot get a job and support themselves no matter what they do they are going to stop trying because the economy is not possible to survive in mostly for 49% of them unless they live at home with their parents.
This is a completely disaster for America because it is preventing upward mobility of the masses which is leading to Stagnation on many different levels of our American civilization. And unless something changes this all will only get worse and worse and worse. And then what are we all going to do?
