However, we don\u2019t hear nearly as much about what really matters to most people:&amp;nbsp;economic mobility.&amp;nbsp; Economic mobility is the simple idea that we\u2019re capable of bettering our lot in life \u2013 that we have the ability to build a business, learn a new skill or find a better job and start climbing into higher socioeconomic classes.&amp;nbsp; Justin T.
