In a recent report from Public Religion Research Institute on the Economic Values Survey of a random sample of
2,002 American adults conducted by landline and cell phone interviews from May
30, 2013 through June 16, 2013, it was found that nearly half of respondents (47%)
state that their generation is worse off financially than their parent’s compared to 16% who say that their generation is doing about the
same as their parent’s and 36% who say that their generation is
better off than their parent’s.
The majority of respondents between the ages of 66 and 88 (Silent Generation) say
they are better off than their parent’s generation (59%) while the majority of
respondents between the ages of 18 and 33 (Millennials) say that they are worse off than
their parent’s generation (58%). More
than half of respondents between the ages of 34 and 48 (Generation X) also say that they are
worse off than their parent’s generation (51%). Respondents between the ages of
49 and 67 (Baby Boomers) are nearly equally divided when comparing their generation to their
parent’s (40% say that they are better off while 45% say that they are worse
off).
