It may have been the case before that people thought hard work brought a better life, but now things have changed

Professor Bobby Duffy worked on the study, and said that millennials have 'become much more sceptical about prioritising work as they’ve made their way through their career'.

The scam isn't 'hard work'

The scam is the 'a job gives you(r life) purpose' narrative.

Nope, times a thousand. Meaningful relationships, having realistic (but still challenging) goals, self-expression, responsibility for the well-being of others and engaging in meaningful initiatives, among many others, do.
