Once Again, the Future Ain't What It Used to Be

"The idea that each generation of children will grow up to be better off than the one that preceded it has always been a part of the American dream. But barely a third of adults expect things to work out that way for today s children, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

About hald of adults (50%) say that today's children will grow up to be worse of than people are now. A third (34%) say they'll be better off and most of the rest say they aren't sure.

The only major racial or ethnic group which doesn't buy into this pessimistic view of the next generation's future is one that has been much in the news lately - Hispanics."
