I know it might sound a bit carebeary but, if an entire generation has trouble making money, doesn't this mean the next is poorer, less educated, will encounter more troubles / problem evolving in society and struggling in every aspect, because from financial issues stems a ladder of degradation of quality of life, quality of education / parenting / etc etc ? Isn't that some kind of vicious circle, and even if it sounds a bit social justicky* talking like this : instead of mocking it for short term laughs, provide these people with jobs that pays more ?Because if we talk about a big portion of the population / a generation like this, you need to talk about many industries profiting from the desperation of that generation and paying them the minimum wage to barely scrap by (look at how the comics industry already does it with their millenials and sjw type artists and writers that also are in that situation and scrap by / cling to any job opportunity to meet month's end )
I mean to take a more serious / or balanced take about this, because i truely feel that even if numbers of employment looks great, at what kind of salary, cost, exploitation degree ? We also saw how poorly some Blizzard fanboi's employee were pretty badly paid profiting on their "dream" of being a Blizzard employee, using the same kind of scheme comics brands are using to lure low cost artists / devs / workers. ( not every corner of all of the industry is like this but it's more common than anyone think, look at telltale game studios that tried to put everyone out the door without any severance deal ) It's great to work in the place you allways dreamt to work to, it surely works as a sweet anesthesia for everything you are sacrificing, I would argue if there are probably more jobs created they might not all be well paid anyway and it can lead long term to a ladder / downgraded quality of life spread on more than one single generation.
