"Millennials" losing economic ground compared to previous generations, new study shows

Very interesting report by Nikki Gamer on the local Washington, DC NPR station, WAMU 88.5, this morning discussing a new study by Demos.  The Demos report, "The Economic State of Young America," suggests that high costs of education, healthcare and homeownership combined with growing debt and declining incomes are intersecting to make the adage that each generation is better off than the last an increasingly unlikely scenario for the Millennial Generation.  Millennials, the study asserts, may be the first generation to not surpass the living standards of their parents.  Listen to Nikki Gamer's report in Windows Media or Real Audio, or check out a PDF of the study here.

This just further hightlight's NDN's call for our leaders and government to craft a comprehensive agenda which addresses the needs of 21st century America, for more on our efforts visit www.ndn.org.
