This essay sheds light on what is the American Dream, demystifies the cost to attain the American dream for people who are part of the real private sector workforce, and expound upon why most real private sector employee job offers do not offer people the attainment of the American dream. Succinctly stated, the American dream is a term that "refers to the belief that anyone, regardless of where they were born or their socio-economic status, can attain their own version of success in a society in which upward mobility is possible for everyone. The American dream is believed to be achieved through hard work rather than by chance". As of February of 2025, the irony is that exuding hard work in most real private sector employee positions will not yield any additional remuneration nor additional benefits for a real private sector employee. Furthermore, as of February of 2025, exuding hard work in most real private sector employee positions also does not furnish any semblance of even a medium level of job security to a real private sector employee. Moreover, as of February of 2025, upward mobility in the hierarchy of economic classes is not offered in most real private sector employee positions. Most real private sector employee jobs based on voluntary demand do not offer flexible scheduling, do not offer a remote work option, do not offer benefits, do not offer a pension, and do not offer a subsistence wage. As of February of 2025, most real private sector employers are often unamenable to furnishing emolument to their real private sector employees in the form of a wage that is above the minimum wage threshold for them working their employee shifts since so would be unconducive to allowing private sector employers to minimize their labor costs. Furthermore, most real private sector employers are adamant about minimizing their labor costs per non-executive employee. As of February of 2025, it can be deduced that working most real private sector employee jobs is unconducive to helping people to attain the America dream. Furthermore, as of February of 2025, it can also be deduced that the cost to attain the American Dream for people who are part of the real private sector workforce vastly exceeds the amount of net remuneration that working an exorbitant amount of employee shifts at the minimum wage pay grade over the course of sixty years would furnish to a real private sector employee over the course of sixty decades. The cost to attain the American Dream is exorbitant for people who are part of the real private sector workforce. Moreover, the cost to attain the American Dream has significantly amplified from 1940 to 2025 by unprecedented an amount. One part of attaining the American Dream entails being able to afford to purchase a real estate property. From 1940 to 2024, "the median house price" has amplified by around 14,168.2% from an estimated "median house price" of $2,938 in 1940 to an estimated "median house price" of $419,200 in 2024. The irony is that houses that were constructed prior to the advent of the 1940s had greater utility in the 1940s than they do in the 2020s even though "the median house price" has increased by around 14,168.2% from an estimated "median house price" of $2,938 in 1940 to an estimated "median house price" of $419,200 in 2024. Houses accrue wear and tear over time from being profusely utilized which reduces their utility over time. It can be deduced that receiving emolument in the form of a minimum wage does not furnish a real private sector employee with enough fiat currency to be able to afford to purchase a real estate property after he has worked an exorbitant amount of employee shifts over the course of twenty-seven years. Another part of attaining the American Dream entails being able to afford to purchase a new car. From 1940 to 2024, "the median new car price" has amplified by around 5,636.35% from an estimated "median new car price" of $850 in 1940 to an estimated "median new car price" of $48,759 in 2024. It can be deduced that receiving emolument in the form of a minimum wage does not furnish a real private sector employee with enough fiat currency to be able to afford to purchase a new car after he has worked an exorbitant amount of employee shifts over the course of three years. As of February of 2025, most real private sector employee jobs based on voluntary demand are not part of a career. Furthermore, working most real private sector employee jobs based on voluntary demand does not aid people in their endeavor to attain financial stability and financial security. This is because, as of February of 2025, most real private sector employee jobs based on voluntary demand offer emolument in the form of a minimum wage to people who work them. As of February of 2025, the federal minimum wage in the U.S. is $7.25. As of February of 2025, the minimum wage is not uniform across all jurisdictions since it can vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
