Young Invincibles is pleased to invite you to a briefing and press conference on our upcoming report, The Financial Health of Young America. An update to our 2017 report, this report uses the latest high-quality federal data to look at income, employment, homeownership, student debt, retirement savings, and the way that the pandemic affected all of these things for young adults ages 18-34. In particular, we examine the racial wealth gaps among young adults, and the ways that Covid-19 pandemic made these gaps even worse.
