Millennials today want a $80K starting pay job with no experience. They can suck a dick.

Who the frick raised us bunch of fricked up, no-working retards? That's right I'm looking at you people between 35-55 years old.
You're right. Damn enabling parents who gave way too much and didn't teach their kids how to earn a dollar. Instead they gave them funds to buy more apps for games.

Nice generalization there, pops. Everyone wants an $80k job these days (unless you make more obv), it doesn't mean we're going to get them.

O man! That's so much work! SO MUCH! I couldn't even IMAGINE working so many hours a week!
O wait...

Old people forget about inflation as well.
Cost of living was cheaper back then.

Define work harder? I worked nearly 50 hours a week as a supervisor making $11 an hour while my managers in their 30's, 40's and 50's took naps in the back office not lifting a goddamn finger to help out unless their boss came in. Go frick yourself.

I know. There is no disputing the real culprits who created this monster generation known as millennials.

Where did they manage to find any Millennials actually working, so they could see if it was harder than their predecessors? I thought they were 100% unemployed and 100% college educated?

I am a millennial and I can tell you that we don't work as hard as our parents. I have been fortunate and am very young for my job and can tell you that there was a lot of luck and knowing people to get my position. My dad at this age was working his arse off including weekends to be able to keep up because of his responsibility load at work. I couldn't hold near the weight he did because of how much this age was coddled growing up.

Instead, 30-year-olds today make around the same amount of money as 30-year-olds in 1984 — $19.30 an hour. That compensation's been adjusted for inflation.
Millennials, too lazy to even read the OP.

millennials – those born between 1980 and the mid-90s, and often otherwise known as Generation Y

he was talking about the inflation of COL, not salary

Even if it is harder for us to succeed (required bachelors, preferred masters), bitching and moaning about it isn't going to make things better. Get off your arse and take the steps needed to succeed.

I could. Perhaps you just had shitty parents. I work way harder than my dad ever did. And he'll admit that.

work harder and work more hours. answer to everything is hard work. input = output
60 is the MINIMUM for professionals these days, 50 hours is laughable. take Uber driver as a second job. work work work!

Still, get ready for the kickers — the wage equivalency, the report notes, exists despite the fact that today's 30-year-olds are 50% more likely to have finished college.
The Bachelor's Degree of 2016 has basically become the High School Degree of 1981. This doesn't tell me anything.
Also, we have a global economy. Our parents and grandparents grew up in a world where half of the world was locked behind the Iron Curtain and Europe was just coming out from the ruins of World War II. We have to compete now.
