Breitbart Business Digest: Why Are Young Americans So Much More Confident Than Everyone Else?

Younger American adults are actually more positive about the economy and the direction of the country than older Americans. While confidence is low across the board, the younger generations have far more confidence about the economy than older Americans. In YouGov’s polling for the Economist, Americans aged 18-29 are far more likely than the older Americans to say the state of the economy is good or excellent. Among older Americans, it is just 17 percent. But even on the broadest question of whether the country is headed in the right direction, younger Americans are more positive.
