Just enjoy the ride, friend.

It's the Boomers, stupid!

They flooded our country with immigrants that saturated the labor market with competition via price instead of quality, and Boomer middle-managers realized that it made their own positions safer when they selected for mediocrity, low salary-demands, and lack of ambition in their underlings. Boomers also poisoned the housing market by propagating the perception of one's own dwelling as an "investment", so real estate pricing has gone all out of whack for no better reason than Boomer expectations.

When seeking employment, just remember that any company that's more than 15-20 years old will probably have fallen into this paradigm. Ambitious and talented people (and ambitious, talented managers who want them) are now a smaller relative share of the population with all of these complacent boomers and pet immigrants running around, but they still exist. Look for newer companies, young executives, and hiring connected to organizational growth instead of just filling vacancies.
