Are we in a generational war we are uncomfortable acknowledging?

Feel free to check me on statistics, but I believe more people are working over 60 than ever previously. Many of these people are working entry level jobs.

When I check statistics, persons born after 1970 have lost most by percentage of income than those born prior to 1970. When I check statistics, those born after 1985 or so are employed mainly due to dumb luck. When I check Fluther, there is a general consensus that younger people lack work ethic, and are entitled. Is this true, or purely a fiction of older people who are happy to hire older people and fire younger people.
