Expectations have shifted dramatically. Even fewer Americans have that Dave Thomas MBA these days that we find increasing numbers of immigrants do have in spades.

I think there's a lot to be said on current citizens who have dropped out of the workforce. They are at all time highs.
Also native workforce distribution has shifted more towards white collar jobs but even then that's distorted due to artificial incentives.
How many social workers do we need.. yet students go into debt to obtain meaningless degrees that ultimately pay less than entry level trades.
