Americans have lost confidence that their children will be better off than they are, according to a new poll.
A collaboration between the Wall Street Journal and NORC, the poll underscored a pessimistic outlook on the US economy.
According to a new Wall Street Journal/NORC poll conducted this month, a majority of people believe their children's lives may be worse than their own.
"No matter how much they increase your pay, everything else is going up," Kristy Morrow, who lives in Big Spring, Texas, told the Wall Street Journal.
Respondents' outlook on their children's futures was worse in this year's survey than any other year since its start in 1990, the Wall Street Journal reported.
