    I think there is a bit of a difference.

    Millennials have had to deal with a near constant shitty job market, constantly having to do more for less.

    What they’re describing for Gen X is that a part of the economy has completely disappeared at a time when they should be high earners. The combination of lower cost digital media and an international labor pool means entire professions and trades have been wiped out.
