> Obviously, millennials have to be richer than their fathers or, at least, than their grandparents.

Only if the GDP per capita is allocated uniformly. Who makes more, a 25 year old working at Starbucks or a 55 year old white collar worker?

Sure, but if you take all the workers in consideration, things don't look so good neither.

"For most U.S. workers, real wages — that is, after inflation is taken into account — have been flat or even falling for decades, regardless of whether the economy has been adding or subtracting jobs."
