WATCH HOLIDAY YEAR END MELTUP AND SUBSCRIBE www.youtube.com A young man struggles to survive in the current economic client. This is a open ended series where I will pick a few individuals for a interactive reality series called ‘ Surviving the Recession” How Are the Kids? Unemployed, Underwater, and Sinking with 272 comments This guest post is contributed by Mark Paul and Anastasia Wilson. Both are members of the class of 2011 at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. In some cultures asking how the kids are doing is a colloquial way of asking how the individual is faring, acknowledging that the vitality of the younger generation is a good metric for the well-being of society as a whole. In the United States, the state of the kids should be an important indicator. Young workers bear the significant burden of funding intergenerational transfer programs and maintaining the structure of payments that flow in the economy. Today, the kids’ outlook is almost as bleak as the housing market; they are unemployed, underwater on student debt, and out of luck from a reluctant political system. Currently, even after a slight boost in jobs growth, unemployment for 18-24 year olds stands at 24.7%. For 20-24 year olds, it hovers at 15.2%. These conservative estimates, using the Bureau of Labor Statistics U3 measure, do not reflect the number of marginally attached or discouraged young workers feeling the lag from a nearly moribund job market. The U3 measure also does not count …

FYI-to all you people without jobs, all you people about to lose your homes-listen up. The republicans WANT YOU TO LOSE YOUR JOBS AND HOMES!
They don’t care about you. They know the best way for one of them to win the presidential race is to ruin the ecomomy. They’ve stated they want to defeat Obama next election at all costs! THIS IS DOCUMENTED! Then, when they get in the white house the very first thing they will do is to CUT TAXES FOR THE RICH! And what about those jobs?……SUCKERS!
There is only so much money that’s a fact all of u rich people out there u are killing ur brothers and sisters… This is a fact and we are throwing away food every day why don’t u open ur harts and give this food and money u don’t even use that’s sits in ur bank account to some one that needs it or open up jobs even if u dont make a dollar u would change a life!!!

@Crimble67 couldn’t agree more man
@avataz GPS hows he meant to figure out where he’s going?
I think the military would be great for this young guy. I’d recommend him to the Air Force.
@Martian74 you ARE an idiot
@eddysacat that is the WORST advise one could give a person. i wouldnt suggest that to my enemies. it would be better to starve to death then to perpetuate and enable our tyrannical government’s agenda who is causing this financial collapse mostly through their fake wars to begin with…………..
@avataz idiot, he probably had it before he was homeless
this is going to be me soon.
He didn’t mention if he plays lotto or not. I mean in his situation, what else is there, unless he joins the military.

Hmmm, so he has a GPS but lives in a car? Hmmmm
Join the military. It’s a start and you might be a able to continue collecting cans
So his sister didn’t even finish highschool? Is America so bad now that an uneducated 18 year old girl can’t even get a good job anymore? Pffft.
This is just what California needs right now, uneducated deadbeats moving into the state and bludging off welfare.

@michelb08
That was one idiotic post. “Working is not the solution. Working is slavery” So, you like being a dead beat or a thief? Most of us like three squares a day, autos and homes. Without working one has NO chance of getting ahead. Learn to spell and get some education imbecile!
G4T,
This is what you need to keep doing… it’s your niche’ and its what you do best.
I know that it doesn’t make you money now… but this is the real world and you will get a following.
Show the true “reality” out there… money will come later…
Keep up the good work!
@Crimble67 …..even better, why don’t u go to him and give him your job? I know maby u hate mexican people who only try to get by and find a little something to do to provide for their family as well. And secondly it’s just a stupid idea anyhow. Working is not the solution. Working is slavery! You must work for the elite to provide them more while u waste your energy thinking it’s ok to pay tax for bombs and bullets and depleted uranium wich isent depleted at all and kill bilions.
Could it be obvious maby to go hunting deer or something for food? You will have lots of meat, learn to survive, instead of pick cans and find work to be slave again.
Maby, find a good spot near the woods and built a huge shelter. try to think ouside this box that u always have to find work to live, u don’t. Try to find others who does the same and have some knowledge how to hunt your own food etc.
@DIHORY Well I am glad you are home and I hope you are happy. I would like to talk more but I am watching TV and waiting for my food stamps.
