Barista? You know of some openings?

With a lingering 19% total unemployment/underemployment rate, these kids aren't being picky.

The Great Obama Recession is creating a permanent army of unemployed young folks, and none of the Democrats are at all focused on "JOBS".

I read someplace that the unemployment rate for age 18-25 is around 25%.

My daughter graduated from Washington State Univ in Dec. 2009. She sent out over 400 resumes, not just in WA state but the surrounding states as well. She got zero response. She decided to take a class to get a certificate to teach overseas and is now in Japan teaching English. But, even that took a while because a lot of kids are trying the same thing and the numbers applying for these jobs are a lot larger than normal.

This isn't always a case of laziness or not taking a job that you think is beneath you. It is absolutely brutal out there right now for kids coming out of college. People with more experience who may have lost their job are taking the entry level positions that would have gone to the college grad. My daughter hit the "glass ceiling" of the Obama economy and the kids coming out after her are finding the same thing.

I hate to see this, but I am hoping that they are realizing that "Hope & Change" is not enough of a resume to put someone in the office of President of the United States.

So why would the Dems focus on jobs when these people will vote for them anyway?

All the Dems have to do is proclaim to want to pass something with the name “green” or “diverse” in it and these wastes will salivate and and ring the liberal bell.

With jobs there's a danger that these wastes may turn right when they see the taxes they pay or that a Conservative may benefit.
