Right now, young workers are facing a tough reality that the American dream may become just that, a dream. For most young workers, an education comes with a big price tag, with few job prospects afterward that make it difficult to pay off their debt. Health care costs have skyrocketed, making basic coverage difficult to secure.

For most young workers, an education comes with a big price tag, with few job prospects afterward that make it difficult to pay off their debt. Health care costs have skyrocketed, making basic coverage difficult to secure.
Fortunately, Working America is doing something about it. We know we can’t have our future sacrificed while corporations aren’t paying their fair share. Working America is bringing young workers together across the country to discuss the issues that concern our generation and to take collective action to ensure we get the opportunities we deserve.
