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.
