In this episode, we talk about why Gen Z gets called lazy—and whether changing expectations, technology and a tougher economy tell a different story.

In this episode:

  • How childhood, screen time and parenting have changed across generations
  • Whether Gen Z wants to work less, or simply wants more balance
  • College costs, degrees and the challenge of getting started in a career
  • Job hopping, low-paying work and limited benefits
  • Housing costs and why many young adults live with family
  • Whether young people are being dealt a tougher hand
  • Why we think economic concerns can get lost in political arguments
