		<description><![CDATA[At some point during Blake Eastman’s senior year at the University of Southern California, he stopped talking to his friends about their plans after graduation. Eastman, 22, had parlayed a summer internship into a job offer. Many of his classmates, even those with similar credentials, weren’t as fortunate. “It’s not necessarily awkward but as it gets further in the semester, some of my close friends, you can tell it’s stressing them out,” he says. “My friends don’t really ask about it anymore.” As young millennials like Eastman enter the work force, they’re quickly discovering an uncomfortable truth: Inequality, once a phenomenon most prevalent among older Americans with longer work histories, is on the rise among young people. It used to be that all Americans new to the workforce started at the beginning and built up their financial futures over time. It took a while to see who would be a “have,” and by how much. Now, the choices—or the lack thereof—available to 20-somethings have already divided their cohort. Although 20-somethings continue to be more financially equal as a group than the general population, newly crunched census data from the public policy group Demos show that gap is closing. (COVER STORY: The New Greatest Generation) Now more than ever, the lowest-earning Americans in their 20s are making less and the top-earning ones are making more. Between 1980 and 2011, 20-somethings in the lowest quintile of earners have seen their share of all income in the U.S. decline from 3.6% to 2.9%, compared to smaller a drop (from 3.3% to 3%) in that quintile of all Americans 20 and older. Low-earning 20-somethings used to take home a larger piece of the pie than their average low-earning counterparts of all ages, but now they’ve got a smaller piece. At the same time, young Americans in the highest-earning quintile have increased their share of income more than the overall population of high-earners has. It’s only gotten worse in the last few years—and that trend applies to income figures as well as relative earnings. The only 20-somethings making more money than their counterparts a generation<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=nation.time.com&#038;blog=20157722&#038;post=119374&#038;subd=timemilitary&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
