The American Middle Class in the 80s and 90s
The 80s and 90s were the golden decades of the American middle class, marked by stability, purpose, and pride.
These decades were characterized by predictable paychecks, pensions, and lunch breaks in cafeterias, where a college degree wasn't the only path to comfort.
During this time, it was possible to own a house, send kids to school, and take a summer road trip, symbolizing a sense of security and prosperity.
Before the internet rewired our lives and “remote work” became a phrase, there was a kind of stability—one built on predictable paychecks, pensions, and lunch breaks in plastic-chaired cafeterias.
Autor's resume: The 80s and 90s defined American middle class.
