their children couldn't be around? someone who would interact with them, perhaps call for help, if there was an emergency. that's where this technology is heading. next year, you will go on sale to the domestic market. the price tag for a base model just under $2,000 u.s. dollars. this is the future. you're looking at it right now. will ripley, cnn, tokyo. >> okay. i don't know if i'm excited about that or not. all right. that's going to do it for me. i'm fredricka whitfield. back at the bottom of the hour. first, cnn "money" starts right now. we've now gained back all the jobs less in the recession, but most of you still think the american dream is out of reach. christine romans, and this is the new "cnn money." 217,000 jobs created last month, and a milestone moment. 8.7 million jobs were wiped out during the financial crisis. now, more than four years later, the u.s. economy has finally

gained them all back, and even added a few more. don't feel like popping the champaign? i don't blame you, at four years-plus, the longest jobs recovery since 1939 and we're still years away from full employment. 59% of americans pommed nearly six in ten say the american dream is impossible to achieve. yes, the jobs market made a decisive turn, but is it too late for the american dream? cnn's global economic analyst at times assistant managing editor and adviser to the german insurer. let me ask you this. jobs are coming back. is's that enough to jump-start the american dream and help people feel better about the economy again? >> it's an important component, but it's not enough. i mean, it's great news that we created 217,000 jobs last month, and that as you say, we're back to the prior peak. now, that peak was in january 2009, and it took us a long time.

so people feel it's taking too long, but importantly, it's the quality of jobs. it's the fact that wage growth has been really anemic, and it's also the fact most people feel they don't have the same opportunities, and that's why the survey shows that people are worried about the american dream. >> more than just the job market. there's a lot of things that we're watching here that make us feel good, or feel cautious about the economy. we are starting to see some solid middle class jobs coming back. the last couple of months in particular, not ready to declare a trend but i see a broad mix of different kinds of pay scales and different kinds of sectors. that's good. >> that is good. this is the fourth year now of really solid -- excuse me, fourth month of really solid job growth. as you say, across manufacturing, retail, health care, travel, tourism. there are this, you know, broad range of jobs created, but i have to agree with mohammed, that it's not just about quantity. it's an quality and the fastest growing categories, frankly, are still at the low end.

seeing a lot of low-end retail job, clerical job, service jobs, travel and tourism and wage growth is very flat still. we're not feeling this in our wallets yet. >> yeah. gained maybe 5 cents an hour, the average wage, mohammed, in the most recent month. saying, don't spend it all in one place. wages have been going flat for middle class jobs for some time. let me ask you this. the white house, mohammed, says there's more work to be done and policies to enact to help people in the jobs market. specifically, raising the minimum wage. is there more washington can do? policy initiatives to be done, especially now a tail wind of a growing jobs market? >> oh, it is a lot more than washington can do. right now it's mainly the fed that is acting. congress has been polarized and congress actually has done very little in terms of policies that promote growth and employment. my worry is that we are going to hit a wall at some point.

not now, but later this year when we get to the long-term unemployment, where issues about competitiveness, education, productivity, become absolutely critical, and we are doing very little right now to address long-term unemployment. what we are mainly doing as a country is addressing short-term unemployment through a very active and experimental federal reserve. so there's a lot more that congress can do, but unimport t unfortunately, not likely more to the end of the year. >> the economy is back and moving in the right direction, but tell that to the overeducated and under employed millennials. 63% of americans polled say most children in the united states won't be better off than their parents. young people aren't getting the right degrees. they're taking on too much debt to get the wrong degrees. this is still a really big problem, because even though you've now recovered all the jobs lost in the recession, tell that to the class of 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and '13.

there weren't jobbed create es all of those people? >> sure. jobs are coming in when wages are flat, coming in at a disadvantage paywise. specifics show you never make that up in the course of your lifetime. you come into a weak labor market you'll take a pay cut the rest of your life and it's worth saying more millennials than ever before are living with mom and dad. saying something about the economic state these kids are in. >> living with mom and dad and all of this student debt. they're coming out of school with all of this student debt. many call it a bubble. taking out all of these loans chasing after degrees that aren't fles lynecessarily going them jobs. what do we do about that? >> so first and foremost we deal with the education issue and we deal with educational reform, and it's about the knowledge economy. you know, the world has changed, and the education system isn't changing fast enough. what we need today is an

education system that teemp tea you not what to think but importantly how to think because things are moving quickly. we need to do something about education. student debt will become very important. there's a notion of a debt overhang. when you have excessive indebtedness, that stops the system from adapting quickly. and student debt is becoming the next problem to solve. so there are real issues. it's good the economy improved but there is longer term structural issues that need a lot of attention, and need sustained attention. >> you know, mohammed, the last couple of weeks we've explored whether the availability of student loans, so much student loans, actually encourages universities to take that money, not reform the kind of education that they're giving students, and just raise tuition? is it making the bubble worse? all of the student loan availability? >> that's a tough question. it's a good thing that students loan, available because people then can get education that's

not constrained by how much money they have right now, but does it more fundamental issues. what's pushing our universities, and what's pushing our schools to reform? and the push isn't strong enough for the set of schools and universities as a whole. >> all right. mohammed, thank you. rona, nice to see you both. have a nice weekend. one of our favorite websites got an upgrade this week. ours. what you need to know about business, investing, the economy, tech and personal finance plus new sections. and new features. check out #newjob. an instagram collection of people starting a new gig all on the new cnn money and the new cnn money app. general motors says no conspiracy or cover-up. 13 died because of a pattern and neglect. families areic taing issue how gm is counting victims. >> her death is not being

speed limit was 55. do you believe that that could have caused the accident? >> no. i believe that she lost power. >> reporter: it's now known the ignition switch on her cobalt was defective. this analysis of the data report shows the switch was in the accessory position at the time of the crash shutting the engine off and disabling the air bags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. >> were e believe the evidence is overwhelming that the defectses in this key system resulted in brooke's loss of control and her death. >> reporter: gm would not comment on the data recorder information. the defect led gm to recall 2.6 million are ka cars, but before they settled for an undisclosed amount and now are fighting an uphill legal battle to reopen it. >> they thought they had the truth when they settled their case. we now know they had some of the truth but not all of the truth. >> reporter: in a new lawsuit, the meltons allege that gm hid

key documents from them and say a gm engineer lied in a sworn deposition. >> we did the design release engineer for the ignition switch in the '05 cobalt. >> yes, i was. >> reporter: the melton's attorney gave him part of the dep shooigs denied approving any changes to the ignition switch. >> there was never a work order that i saw hot lining this. >> any such change was made, if was made without your knowledge and authorization? >> that is correct. >> reporter: but in 2006, digiorgio signed this form authorizing a switch making it harder to turn inadvertently. >> this subcommittee will come to order. >> reporter: the gm was asked about this. >> you know he lied under oath. >> the date indicates that but i'm waiting for the full investigation. >> reporter: that full investigation came out oun thrs and digiorgio is among 15
