Yes, the current 20-24 yr old UMP is higher than that in the later 1960s and most of the 1950s. But the current crop of 20-24 year olds sure seem to be relatively better employed than at most recent time periods.
I've said this before and I'll keep saying it. I fail to see why everyone loves to bash Millenials. Sure, they have their fair share of pod-eating Antifa-loving snowflakes who were all-in on Bernie and Hillary.
But the Baby Boomers were pretty stupid in their youth - have we forgotten about the 1960s and then Disco? Every generation is dumped on by the elders, but in general they get more conservative as they age and turn out to be fine, upstanding citizens.
Most of the Millenials I know are either Deplorable or Centrist. Lately, they've become more horrified by their snowflake-bretheren, and are generally responding by doubling down on conservatism. Some 'kids' who may have chafed at Trump in 2016 are now thinking that jumping on the MAGA train isn't such a bad idea.
Given that Trump won by 76k votes, we need all the help we can get. I would encourage all people who reflexively bash Millenials to consider maybe inviting one or two of them that you know out to the range or something to loop them in to Camp Deplorable. If we don't, we run the risk of President Kamala Harris outlawing ammo while some of us middle age people wonder why the young ones didn't respond 'appropriately' to being ridiculed.
With regard to women, it's normal for them to stay at home until married. That's always been a tradition and besides, even women living at home are shouldering household responsibilities and not sitting on the couch playing video games (as many men do).
Regardless of what generation you slot into, it's just not healthy for a grown man to live with his parents. It was that way when I came of age in the 1980s.
Also, I think joining the military out of school is an excellent "jump start" to living your own life. The military does an excellent job teaching a young man to be a responsible and disciplined adult who contributes positively to his family and community.
