I believe the article is saying that having to work menial jobs to get by while making your employer rich while our financial system is designed to make most people poorer and poorer is what makes us unhappy. You are right though in saying every generation has something to point at that makes them unhappy. Happiness comes from within, but your society can certainly contribute towards your unhappiness and our current society has quite a few absurdities abound.
