Stories of upward mobility were once a key feature of American life. Children born in the 1940s were almost guaranteed to grow up and earn more than their parents did. “By the time you get to when I was born in 1980, only 50 percent of kids earn more than their parents do”-John Friedman (Brown University economist)
