News Republic - In 1980, the typical young worker in
Detroit or Flint, Michigan, earned more than his counterpart in San
Francisco or San Jose. The states with the highest median income were
Michigan, Wyoming, and Alaska. Nearly 80 percent of the Boomer
generation, which at the time was between 18 and 35, was white, compared
to 57 percent today.
Three decades later... Michigan's median income for under-35 workers has fallen by 26
percent, more than any state. In fact, beyond the east coast, earnings
for young workers fell in every state but Hawaii and South Dakota.
