quote “a significant portion of recent graduates were earning lower wages than what they should have been, given their education”

um... giving people degrees because of their skin color doesn't count as “education”.

Employers know this, and refuse to hire these affirmative action morons who are completely illiterate.

Gee you think programs like H-1B work visas ( indentured servitude ) ‘helps’ recent grads?

Overturning the Griggs vs. Duke Power decision would help this situation a lot.

“Back in 1999, a quarter of all 25-year-olds lived with their parents. By 2013 this number has doubled”

That’s not counting the number of 40 year-olds living with their parents in 2013. If they were living with their parents in 1999, where were they in 2013, still in college or unmarried with children?

My kids are expected to choose a degree that leads to a career (if they were not the college type, they would not go to college for the social life - they would learn a trade). They are expected to support themselves, to do honest work, to get married before having kids, to attend church weekly, to donate at least 10% of their income to charity, and to vote in every election for small government.

They are welcome to live with us for a few months after graduating or during a job transition, whether to save for a down payment or because money can be tight during those transitions, but so far none of my kids have made that choice. They take pride in being self-sufficient.

Does the article mention that other statistic about people not getting married. One big reason to move out is to “hook-up” but if fewer people are even interested, why move out.

“That’s because they start work for lower-paying employers and slowly work their way up toward better-paying jobs.”

They say that as if it's a bad thing, even though it's probably the best career path for most people. The only real flaw is that too many people were seduced into blowing 4+ years of their young lives earning unproductive liberal arts degrees.

My oldest (22) is at home while she goes to a local college.
My middle (19) is moving up to a mountain town to take a full time job that includes an apartment in the compensation. This will let her work on her college via online classes.
My youngest (16) is still in high school and is trying to decide between the different services and which ROTC program he wants to join.

The point is to plan your work and work your plan.

To each their own. I left home at 20 and never looked back. I went without the 100 dollar a month phone plans and brand new cars... my first priority was always rent. I love my folks, but I absolutely do not want to live with them. That’s very important to me. Each situation is different, but for me personally I couldn’t leave fast enough.

My father’s rule was when I was 18 and out of high school, I was on my own. There would be no freeloading at home. I didn’t stick around to see if he was serious. Six days after graduating, I was on my way to MCRD San Diego.

New ensign/2LT: starts at $35,208 with housing included. No jobs? Bullshit. No desire to serve is more like it. Guaranteed pay raise to $53,208 in three years. If you can qualify.
