Median income for millennials (sad)

[Twerk4it]

Average Miscer makes six figures after graduating but our fellow millennials aren't so lucky.

What is the cutoff for being a millennial? Are all millennials of working age?

Cutoff I think is early-mid 30's.

[RougeProdigy]

Half of all American workers make less than 30k per year. So millennials making slightly less makes sense.

[mike.hunt]

Poverty, poverty everywhere

[RougeProdigy]

Who still uses median over mean? wat

Who still uses mean over median?

[300BLK]

And that's why it's easy to assume people are full of chit when they say they make a lot of money.

[AgBrah]

I'm a legit 1%'r then.


Weird.

I mean what's the youngest someone can be while still being a millennial? I'm trying to figure out what's skewing the data...

Based on definition I looked up a millennial is anyone born in 1982 and later, so 35ish.

EDIT: Upper end is 2004, so 13 years old. That's about 10 years of age who would include alot of 0 incomes. But I wonder if this study is only including working people. More info needed for sure.

Especially on the misc.

Especially on the misc.

Problem is most people don't go into fields that make good money. If you're not in tech, engineering, finance, accounting, or aren't some kind of awesome entrepreneur, the odds are firmly against you.

I know so many people who slave to get their masters+ and only come out with sub $50k salaries.

[Cinderblock]

Dat feel when I graduated Uni in 2015 and will be making 80k before the year ends.

Dat STEM wagie life.

1981 - 1997 was used in the study, which at the time was 17 years old for the cut off. Only included people who were employed.

Still having trouble wrapping my head around how the numbers are so low. Literally poverty, how do people live on such low incomes?

Millennials were born 82-94, give or take based on who's doing the survey.

Curious if a lot were part time while in school or something. Chit makes no sense otherwise

[420Layers]

Well what jobs and degrees do they have?

If half of the respondents to this survey have Masters in comp sci it's a very different story from a bachelor's in gender studies.

For everybody I know, including me, it comes down to lack of hours. Most people make decent money while on the clock but the hours just aint there. I don't know if Obamacare is to blame or just the fukt up economy we live in now.

Damn brah that's rough. Guess I'm lucky to be part of the salaried worker crew.

With thier parents.

[Twerk4it]

Who comes up with these stupid ass things

"HURR DURR MILLENIALS" is on every headline anymore.

Yeah I know what you mean, like how can millennial's be real if our eyes aren't real?

They live in government housing, in trailer parks, with their parents, etc. The majority of these people will completely struggle to be a mediocre employee at even unskilled labor. The vast majority of these people won't even show up to work to make 40hr a week even with a job that's easy as hell. Hotel front desk clerk. Fast food worker. Gas station attendant, cashier at a store, etc.

Anyone who has managed those types of jobs will tell you how hard it is getting decent employees that will even show up at work regularly. A large portion of these fukk ups will call in sick or just not show up on weekends as well (hung-over from night before). Ask anyone that manages those types of job's what uneducated/unskilled employees are like and they'll have nothing but negative's for 90% of their employee base.


A large portion of millennial are just selfish lazy azzholes that expect to be handed everything. How many able bodied male's have 0 sense of pride/self worth and aren't making any effort to improve their socioeconomic status? You also have to account for rural area's where there is simple not much work and the jobs in the area pay very little.



My mom makes around 20k per year and she manages to live on her own, pay her car note, and cover her bills. She's lucky that she has a paid off house to live in however. She's never collected unemployment, food stamps or utilized any kind of government assistance. Granted, $10 an hour at 40hr a week is about the best she can do. Reliable employee but no real skill-set or education for an advanced career. Stay at home wife/mother for 30+ years kinda fukks someone over when they decide to hit the work-force.

[Vawx]

Makes perfect sense. Baby Boomers destroyed the economy, outsourced jobs, kept wages stagnant, and won't fuking retire

I love how even Millenials (people ITT) have started to believe the lies told to them. Oh we're all lazy and studied worthless majors

My ex-GF's dad is a Property Manager for buildings downtown. He makes 6 figures and has a nice house in the suburbs. What did he study in college? Fuking English
He spent a year drinking tequila with his wife in Mexico until she got knocked up and they had to get real jobs, but somehow Millenials are lazy and entitled
