compared to 100 years ago?
Upward social mobility is generally more difficult today compared to a hundred years ago. This is due to a combination of factors including the increasing gap between the rich and poor, lack of affordable housing, rising college tuition costs and student loan debt, and greater competition for jobs as automation reduces the number of available positions.
