Same here. The rust belt cities across the northeast and stretching into the Midwest don't seem to be doing that bad either.
I see the "jobs in places not SF or NYC" situation as kind of like how the people who spend MSRP minus $2k for a 5yo 4Runner feel the need to loudly proclaim how everything else is crap because they have this massive sunk cost they need to justify to themselves. All I know is my car starts every morning and I'm not making payments on it.
At least in my peer group people seem to be doing pretty well.
From my perspective here, Millennials aren't having any harder of a time integrating into society than anyone before them did.
