This article (the one on the left) is reporting the results of a Pew Research Poll in 2014, so it is reporting the Millennial's view point in 2014.

Millennials upbeat on finances, cool to political affiliations - latimes

Quote:
Millennials stand out among other generations for their optimism over personal finances and America's future, according to a new national survey released Friday by the Pew Research Center.

This one (the one on the right) is reporting on the latest financial data as reported by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis last month. So, it is reporting what the data says about the stagnation of wages and the actual financial prospects for millennials as it sits right now.

Just two years ago, the median American born in the 1980s—the cradle of millennials—had family wealth that was 34 percent below what earlier generations held at the same age, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis reported last month. And all the data show it’s probably going to get worse.

As affluent baby boomers thank years of soaring markets for their paid-off mortgages and plump portfolios, millennials and the next cohort, Generation Z, are weighed down by student debt and stagnant wages. They can only contribute the bare minimum to their retirement plans and struggle to find affordable homes within commuting distance of their jobs.

So, 2 different topics at 2 different time frames and nothing at all to do with any real or perceived bias. Neither one of which actually has anything to do with unemployment rates.


But just keep throwing that mud, something is sure to stick at some point.
