I think a lot of people are burned out and there is a hopeless feeling about work. I don't think people are lazy I think they are realizing the system will always keep them down no matter how hard they work. Hard work, luck, and privilege are what helps break that cycle.
I would agree that privilege probably has some to do with it. The attitude is totally different now. Even when you talk to new people in the work force. I'd have to disagree that at least a little bit of it isn't laziness.
