The Obama economy. Raising the minimum wage, mandating health insurance, and other measures that make hiring more expensive cause more young people to be unemployed or underemployed. The WSJ reports that Suicides are Rising.

My guess is that they won’t come out in droves to vote Obama again!

Now there’s a trend that I wish would catch on in Congress and the Bambi-ministration.

For every one that moves back home or otherwise moves in with someone else, that’s one more housing unit (apartment, rented house, or formerly-owned house) now unoccupied.

Keep that in mind whenever you hear claims of “Housing recovery just around the corner!!!!!”.

My younger sister is living with our parents. She has a job using her journalism degree but apparently it doesn’t pay so her choices are a slum apartment, or my parents’ house. They’d rather she live with them. But they aren’t empty nesters by a long stretch, still got half a dozen younger kids in the house.

Me, I got out after college and am glad I didn’t have to move back but I’m also glad my sister has the option.

It used to be the norm having several generations in one household. We’re moving backwards.

Excuses excuses. Young adults are moving back home because they don’t have the guts to face challenges independently.

Forcing young adults back home? H311! I’m still trying to get one to leave the nest!

Cool, another get off my lawn thread about "lazy" kids.

The job market sucks. Big time.

The "good" news is that the job market sucks so bad that foreclosed houses in my town are auctioning for $10k. That makes it easier to move out.

Outsourcing has failed.
