Curse of class of '09
"For a typical worker, that would mean earning $100,000 less over the 18-year period."
That is not at all a frightening statistic.

That is an average of 5500+ dollars per year, ~463 per month. Depending on who you ask that is a big deal.

Just to rephrase (Class of '83 here). You will make less, work harder, and have less opportunities, entirely because of the year you graduated university.
