问题     Median earnings for full-time US workers aged 18 to 34 have fallen nearly 10 percent since 2000, after adjusting for inflation, to below 1980s levels, according to The Wall Street Journal. This drop means young people, many of whom are also shouldering big student loan debt, have had a hard time saving money and building the good credit needed to secure a mortgage and buy a house elsewhere.
    The mobility of young workers has been a tremendous asset to the US economy, according to The Atlantic article. In previous decades, cities like New York and Los Angeles attracted 20-some-things with educational or professional opportunities, and then those 20-somethings would migrate to places where they could settle down with a family and buy a spacious house after a few years in the city. This geographic dispersal of highly-skilled workers meant that the gains of states with stronger economies could be spread to those with weaker ones.
选项
答案 根据《华尔街日报》的报道，自2000年以来，美国18至34岁全职者的平均收入下降了近10％，调整通货膨胀率之后，这一数字还不及20世纪80年代的水平。这一下降意味着年轻人将很难有所积蓄，或是建立良好的信用来获得抵押贷款、在别处买房安家。他们中的很多人还身负巨额助学贷款。 如《大西洋月刊》的一篇文章中所写，美国年轻劳动力的流动性一直是美国经济的巨大财产。在过去的几十年间，纽约、洛杉矶等大城市通过教育与工作机会吸引了许多二十几岁的年轻人，这些年轻人在工作几年之后移居他处，置豪宅成家安居。这种高技术人才的迁移，让财富从经济状况较好的州流向经济贫弱的地区。
