My oldest son just graduated from college. Getting a "real job" is tougher than getting into grad school!

I wasn't sure I entirely believed in the economic doom-n-gloom, but if he takes the full-time position he's been offered at the grocery store where he works part-time, he'll be making less per hour than I made when I started as a secretary at That Insurance Company, 27 years ago.

According to Hillary, the economy has never been better.

The economic doom and gloom on the jobs front stems from the scarcity of breadwinner jobs, that have sufficient pay and benefits to allow a person to be self-supporting. Those are increasingly hard to find, even in areas with job growth.
