Re: The End of the Middle Class (4.00 / 2)

This TV ad is from about 15 years ago, when "young but more than qualified" (JASP, joven aunque sobradamente preparado) was a sales pitch.

JASP had a positive, "successful" ring to it. About 10 years later the term mileurista was coined in an LTE to El Pais by a despairing young woman.
