Survey of the well-educated
Similar to the earlier survey, I updated the questions and distributed
it to LinkedIn groups hoping to reach well-educated, well-paid individuals and
obtain their views of the American Dream. Highly educated, professional
individuals in over 40 LinkedIn groups were asked to participate in the survey and
answer the following questions:
-
Do you believe the Global Recession has ended?
-
Has the Global Recession changed your belief in the
American Dream?
-
What is today’s definition of the American Dream?
-
What is your attitude toward the financial and
unemployment crisis and the American Dream?
-
Is the American Dream out of reach for you?
-
Will your children achieve the American Dream?
-
Were you impacted financially by the Great Recession?
-
Were you unemployed during the economic crisis?

Recession is over – survey redo!
The American Dream
crumbles during the Great Recession
The Great Recession officially ended June 2009.
The second survey was conducted in late 2010. Still there were
no jobs. Job postings did not start to increase until 2011. The financial and
housing markets experienced slow growth. Unemployment remained very high.
Even now, in 2012, many people still disagree that the Great
Recession is over. Especially if you are a “missing” worker or working several
part-time jobs to make ends meet.
Gas prices are predicted to go even higher. How much is your
weekly gas bill? How much is your grocery bill these days?
The parallels to the Great Depression are only too apparent.
I think we’ll need one more survey before I close my American Dream. What
questions do you think I should ask?
Is America still the land of
opportunity? Is the American Dream still real? Is the American Dream attainable
for our children?
