Gen Y Salary Expectations

We have said Gen Y knowledge workers will average $100,000 a year, double what their parents made.

Here's some evidence to support that.  The median family income in the U.S. is around $53,000.

An eHeathInsurance.com Kelton survey of 526 college students/recent graduates and 550 parents, reported in the June 7, 2012 issue of USA Today, found that the college students/recent graduates believe they will need an average salary of $81,600 to be financially independent, while the parents said their children would need $61,800 to be financially independent.

I can think of no better way to kill ambition than to make work and effort worthless. . .and in this case, it's not something that can be blamed on "welfare queens" or "socialism."
