Also lowest employment rate of high school graduates — worst in 50 years.

“Andrew Sum: Over half. If you’re a high school dropout you’re talking about 30 percent working. Among high school grads who graduated from high school in the last three years — we do a separate survey of them the fall after graduation — 45 percent of them held a job, the lowest in the last 50 years we’ve been collecting this data. And to make it worse, of that 45 percent, only half of them were able to get a full-time job. Only one in five young high school grads, not in college, [is] working full-time. “

And what happened 50 years ago? The end of WWII, when the troops came home... it's not unreasonable to assume that would flood the market with people looking for work.
