A recent Wall Street Journal survey found that only 36% of Americans still believe the American Dream is achievable. "The American Dream is the ideal that anyone in this country who works hard can get ahead and improve themselves economically", explains Wall Street Journal Reporter Aaron Zitner.
When polling Americans about this, Zitner identified both short and long-term concerns challenging this dream. In the near term, high inflation and mortgage rates pose the biggest obstacles. As one respondent noted, individuals do have the capability to work harder, however, "with inflation the way it is, I can work harder, but I'll stay just where I am because I have to make up for inflation."
Additionally, Zitner notes to Yahoo Finance how participants pointed to "structural changes in the economy" that have deteriorated the security previous generations enjoyed. This includes declines in pensions and retirement benefits provided by companies and unions. Such support beams enabled "the American Dream" in decades past which respondents feel are now missing in the long-term outlook.
