“The presumptive Democratic presidential nominee cited the largest monthly increase in the unemployment rate in over 20 years,...”

I guess Barry O’ didn’t get the memo about the thousands of high school and college grads that enter the job market every year at this time. The “unemployment” rate always goes up this time of year due that fact.

Then too the Dems insisted upon raising the minimum wage, so now there aren’t the jobs for the grads there used to be. They cost too much now.

Every one of my friends in the Engineering School had multiple offers from different employers. Every one of them is earning over $60K plus benefits.

If you partied college away and screwed around in a worthless major (few majors are truly worthless, but almost anything that includes the word "studies" qualifies, though) and decided not to pursue a practical advanced degree (like an MBA, a JD, or an MA/MS/ME/MCS in Engineering or the Physical Sciences), tough luck. Payback's a bitch, ain't it?

Unfortunately, those folks vote.
