I look around me and see that things are good for people in my neighborhood. Now. I look around and see that things are not so good for a lot of other people to the point that they feel beaten down before they ever get a start.
Drugs and alcohol have taken their toll, too. And when the mtv generation wakes up and finds out that few employers want to hire people with funny hair jobs, nose rings and tattoos, they will probably blame somebody.
There are some fine young people. By the time they get through college, I wonder if the jobs they are dreaming of will have gone overseas. But college will get them first in line for a government job, no matter what their major.
I'd best leave the rest of the young and restless alone.
And if they are anything like you, they will blame Walmart.
ROFLMAO. Please, feel free to find an uncooked graph showing your feelings are correct.

Average means average. Look it up if you don't know what average means.

Well, there you go. Your limited observations are much better than the "cooked" numbers from the U.S. Labor Department. You'd better get going, I wouldn't want you to miss your Jerry Springer!!
