🇺🇸U.S. Tech Workers on X: Last week, we showed how the engineering degree — once a solid path to the middle class — is failing new American grads.
This week, we looked at Computer Science.
If you thought engineering grads were struggling, computer science grads are faring even worse.

📝 Carolina Lion: The same financial forces that gutted American manufacturing are now gutting American IT.
THE COST OF THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS EXPLODED.
Owning a home.
Buying groceries.
Driving to work.
Paying insurance.
Even your morning coffee.
Nearly every major household expense costs dramatically more than it did just a few years ago.
Over the last 7 years:
• Coffee: +127%
• Home prices: +60%
• Auto insurance: +51%
• Gasoline: +49%
• Electricity: +44%
• Shelter: +35%
• Groceries: +33%
And that's before paying for healthcare, transportation, or eating out.
This is why so many families feel like they're falling behind even when they get a raise.
The biggest financial problem for millions of Americans is that everything is going up at the same time, while the government keeps showing a 2% inflation target.
