Note that the youngest millennials are college-aged and may only be working part time, which may skew the median downward.

That's one way to skew numbers, I'd much rather see the numbers for those who work/are available to work full time
Hmmmm, millennials come pretty cheap.
I should hire one to be my foot stool.
Then why not do the same for all previous generations? Break up the boomers and gen x into two different groups.
I just feel like the digital/internet/mobile age and 9/11 really skews things. Someone born in the mid 1980s is going to have a completely different childhood than those born in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Although at least the mid 1990s isn't as bad.
And if using the standard 20-25 year mark, that would mean someone born in 1985 is in the same generation as someone born in 2005-2010. It just doesn't work here I don't think.

And you don't feel like watershed moments existed for previous generations? Moon landing, Vietnam, Kennedy assassination are not culturally important enough compared to cell phones?

According to U.S. Census Bureau data, the median earnings for full-time workers age 18 to 34 were $35,845 in 1980. By 2000 the same cohort was earning $37,355. For the period of 2009-2013, however, full-time workers between 18 and 34 had median earnings of just $33,883.
Part timers certainly skew the data.

Being a millennial sucks.

You make $8500 a year working full-time?$25,000 average for MA? That's just a little short of being 3 times what I make in a year.
If Boomers were roughly from 1943/44 to the early 1960s, was there that much of a revolutionary change that affected the population at large in that time like what internet/mobile devices have done? I guess you had the rise of TV, but even then, it wasn't exactly widespread.
And you don't feel like watershed moments existed for previous generations? Moon landing, Vietnam, Kennedy assassination are not culturally important enough compared to cell phones?
How about the fact that some of them were of an age to be drafted and sent off to kill or be killed in a jungle?
I would hazard to say that might be a bigger difference than whether you got your first cell phone at age 10 or age 20.
In the U.S., the generation can be segmented into two broadly defined cohorts: The Leading-Edge Baby Boomers are individuals born between 1946 and 1955, those who came of age during the Vietnam War era. This group represents slightly more than half of the generation, or roughly 38,002,000 people of all races. The other half of the generation was born between 1956 and 1964. Called Late Boomers, or Trailing-Edge Boomers, this second cohort includes about 37,818,000 individuals, according to Live Births by Age and Mother and Race, 1933–98, published by the Center for Disease Control's National Center for Health Statistics.[11]

Where?
Damn what state are you in?
Yea, owning a house is like a pipe dream right now. House prices have risen a lot in the past few years. I work my ass off too lol it sucks.
That's probably why Wikipedia even has this to say:
So yeah something like Vietnam should probably split the generation. Cell phone dominance should also split the generation.
I really think you're underestimating what the cell phone and always connected life did for growing up.
I was making $60,000 a year at my first job our of college doing high-school level work....
Damn. I'm doing really good compared to this. Still can't afford a house, though.
I mean, at this point, what even are options for high paying work? It feels like there's almost no real opportunities unless you're in engineering or IT or something like that
