• A rising number of young Americans are disconnected from work, school, and a sense of purpose.
  • Disconnection rates have been increasing since the 1990s, affecting young people’s futures.
  • Poor mental health and a lack of a financial safety net contribute to rising disconnection.

    Progress is well and alive for people in the top 10%. Lots of people I know are thriving, but they come from money and are making six figure salaries at 25.

    But for the bottom 90%, we’re all fucked. As much progressive as I’ve made in my 15 working years, I’m not really any better than I was at 22 when i got my first job.
