Younger people are having trouble finding jobs, too. My college-age son has been applying for work at various places every summer since he was 16, and he's never even been granted an interview. He's a top student, but jobs are hard to find nowadays. We know of many other young people having the same trouble.
I'm only a few years younger than you are, and I need to find work now after spending 15 years raising children - out of the workforce. I plan to further my education, but even then, will anyone hire me? It's going to be tough finding work.
Every graduating class is a lot of young Dem voters lost by Obama; now we have to import even more foreign students because young Americans see no pay-off to investing four years and tens of thousands of dollars in higher education. They see the student loan crisis in the news, and are reacting to it; as they age, they remember the foreclosure crisis (still going on) and avoid buying homes and having families as well (and again, the government’s remedy is to simply import prospective homeowners from abroad).
Anyone passing a schoolyard or playground can see the future of this country (not decades away, but NOW) - and it is Asian and Hispanic.
