That doesn't necessarily mean the generation is lazy. Even those with "good" degrees are facing tougher times than their parents.
I don't think the trope of young people being lazy is necessarily true. I think the problem is a lot of younger people are making poor decisions after high school. People who make good decisions are doing well.

A large chasm has opened between the fates of young liberal-arts majors and their peers in STEM (science, tech, engineering, and math) fields. The former are struggling to find work that pays, at least before their late twenties. The latter are mostly finding lucrative work after they graduate.

Most people that are 18 years old aren't capable of making these decisions and they still need their parents guidance. I don't think that's rediculous, and the parents should still be involved in decision making at that age. 30 years ago 18 year olds may have been able to make decisions on their future, but the world wasn't as mobile as it is now. As someone was saying earlier in the thread in the 70s you got a job and you worked there 30 years until retirement. That's not really how it works anymore, but although the world has changed drastically we want kids to still be able to make the decisions that their parents and grandparents made.
