I see Help Wanted signs everywhere I go.

I see middle-age people working at Target and BJ’s.

What nonsense is this crazy story?

I have first-hand knowledge of a high school student who makes $13/hr after school at Target.

When I was a teenager, I worked at a McDonalds for $2.10/hr, which was minimum wage back then.

Sorry to say they waste a lot of their earnings. There are better ways to creat personal worth.

I'm trying to be sympathetic, but at the same link is the headline:

Opinion: Survey: Millennials choose diversity over merit, environment over jobs

So perhaps their predicament is well-deserved.

I certainly have some issues with Millennials. But -- seriously! -- we should understand the world they are coming into.

The 90s were good years with the internet tech boom. But that fizzled pretty famously and a lot of people lost money.
Then 9/11 happened, and the country started to change and government control tightened (never good for the economy).
Then we had the Great Recession of 2007.
Then we had 8 years of Obama.

Trump is doing a good job fixing things, but young people have grown up in a hard time. And the adults in their lives haven't done them any favors (parents, teachers, politicians, etc.).

I feel considerable pity for the young today.

If you grew up being brainwashed by your DemocRat parents and DemocRat schools, you’ve inherited the values they wanted for you. You’re entitled, unmotivated, looking for free crap, obsessed with political correctness and sexual deviancy, and attending the latest protests. You probably can’t even drive a car. Welcome to the liberal utopia.

In other parts of what’s left of America, people are working, making their own way and handling life like adults. I know, that’s SO yesterday.

Young people get sucked into hidden credit schemes, such as "free iPhone" when you sign up with the phone company. They end up signing up for a two year contract, paying $100 per month for two years, plus other fees and charges.

They could get rid of the "Smartphone" but they are addicted to Facebook and Twitter. "Smartphones" are smart only for the guy selling them.

The honest truth (and I’m a millennial) is that so many of them piss away whatever extra money they have on Starbucks, figurines, avocado toast (lol), expensive hotel rooms, etc. They live only for the now. Also, they are too arrogant to ask for advice, but also lack the ambition to figure out things by themselves. They just don’t even try.

The eight years of economic depression under Obama kicked the crap out of this country. My city looks like a third-world ghetto now.

They want more socialism and they are getting it, and they are paying for it.

“I don’t understand it. Like everybody else I got straight-A’s in every “Studies” course I took and no one — no one! — is willing to pay me a starting salary of $100k ... which is what I need and what I deserve!”

And then you have my 4 millenials:

Oldest got his degree and went to work for the state in the revenue department., and is now a manager.

Daughter saw all her friends spending every dime on manicures, pedicures, makeovers etc. So she went to school to become an esthetician, and opened her own shop doing skincare and eyebrow tinting to the self-absorbed spenders

Next son went to trade school and then to work for Ford. Now he works as the entire shop manager for one of the top performance truck shops in the state.

Youngest son went to work as a apprentice electrician and recently received his license and is now doing his own Electrical Contracting work.

All 4 have their own homes, have decent vehicles, are raising families and doing what they have to to make ends meet.

They also voted for every tax and voted to let illegals in (raising housing prices)

"Despite a decade of economic growth and decreasing unemployment, Americans born between 1981 and 1996 have less wealth and property,..."

Socialism (even @ 75%) is a bitch...

I delivered newspapers and made about $12 a week from six years, until I got my DL. Then got a job washing dishes for a buck and a quarter an hour at a little Italian restaurant. At least the food and pop was free. Not to mention what we filched from the bar...

They are lazy and entitled is all. So many opportunities to get decent jobs nowadays.
