Young People and The Road Ahead

Did You Know? Young people ranging from age 20-34 years of age are jobless, the highest rate seen. It evident that it is taking students longer to graduate. I feel that the author is speaking to the vast majority in the 20-34 age group. He argues that the road to success is becoming a more difficult task. Sadly scientific polls are showing that there has been a decline in young people working and has been the lowest drop in percentage. The author is making his statement clearly from the most current statistics. It is becoming harder for students to graduate and while it is taking students longer to graduate schools are becoming outrageously expensive. A high school diploma will not get you a job and in this day and age a bachelors degree is not enough to get a job. This decline is also decreasing the rate in which this 20-34 age group is marrying and starting families, which would me a steady job. And young people are shying away from it all. The author states that the baby boomers are living longer and are therefore still utilizing jobs that could be given to this 20-34 generation but instead the baby boomer generation is still working and living. I feel this article is asking a clear questions, how is the economy suppose to thrive and survive if we cant even fuel it with job availability. Why over charge students to complete school and require higher degrees but no job to pay for the schooling. It seems the basic essentials to success are becoming farther out of reach. Young adults are worrying less about maintaining a job and more about living and cherishing their time with their family. I feel this author was very informative and this is a valid article with statistics that show no matter what has taken place jobs are becoming more more harder to come by. And these statistics show this generation is starting to care less about it all. I feel this article needs to be published and shine light on these specific issues because this issue affects my generation. Were told we are the future but if we don't address the issue now this downward spiral will persist and our economy will grow much weaker than what it already is.Read this Link http://money.cnn.com/2013/10/22/news/economy/young-workforce-delay/index.html?hpt=hp_t2
