Y’all

Rich = Full Time Employed?

You seem to mistake having a salary for having money.

America now has more than 6,000 Zoomer chief executives and 1,000 Zoomer politicians.

Also, what if you're not a CEO or a politician? Also, plus, too, how on earth is "small town city councilman" or "part-time New Hampshire legislator" a sign of wealth?

I don't get the point you're trying to make with your graph. Obviously there wouldn't be many Zoomers working full time; most are still in school.

Zoomers born after 2006 haven't graduated high-school, and those born between 2002-2006 are in college. That's leaves only a 5 year window of people you'd expect to be employed full time.

The line for millenials looks about the same as Zoomers.

Take that up with the Economist, its their claim and their chart.

I'm trying to understand your argument against the article and what point you're trying to make by using their chart.

The data in the article doesn't support the headline.
