Almost 1/3rd of Americans between ages 24 and 30 now live with parents or family.

Unemployment is also running high in this age group. A lot of companies have cut back on entry level jobs, and ones that exist are being scooped up by older workers who have been layed off.

This is something a lot of people don't seem to realize. Many older experienced workers that have been laid off are taking jobs that they normally wouldn't, which leaves many underemployed and others unemployed.

Actually it's just the opposite. Companies will not higher more experienced workers for entry level jobs as businesses consider these people over qualified and are convinced they will seek employment elsewhere not long after they are hired. The end result is the experienced workers cannot find a job while those with little experience fill the entry level positions.

Most jobs simply don’t pay enough to allow people to live on their own when you tally up student loans taxes etc.

When rush mocks young people on this he comes across as extremely uninformed.
