No age group will escape the economic hardships that the coronavirus pandemic has created. But America's millennial generation born in the '80s and '90s are being hit with a second economic downturn in just 12 years, and economists wonder if they'll ever recover. We're exploring how this generation became so vulnerable, and what needs to happen to pull them out of this economic pit.
