Why?

Because we have a tougher job market, we are less likely to be in the housing ladder etc

Yeah I suppose when you compare that to fighting and dying for your country in a World war or something I can see why you would feel hard done by.

Agreed, the baby boomers are the real entitled generation

A tougher job market? Is it tougher than when there were 3,000,000 unemployed?

Certainly tougher for a graduate now than the years pre-crash 2008. For quite a few years a 2:2 in any old degree and half a brain used to get you on a grad scheme and earning 30k within a couple of years.

Hard to compare eras. Nowadays you have massaged unemployment figures and the gig economy/zero hours contracts. 'Workers' in those categories may not make enough to live on but they won't count in the unemployment figures as they may have done in the past.
