| austin2359 said: Correct. The stats do confirm exactly that. That college students face the same unemployment but they have debt and people who do not have degrees don't have debt. 20% of 2011 college graduates have NO job, and debt. 47% of employed people are underemployed, working part time or out of their field. So yes, college people were hit the worst, and young people were hit the worse, because older people are often managers and they can shift the blame downwards to absolve themselves from the responsibility of their own mistake. So yes, no sarcasm, that is correct. Regarding the protesters being white, first of all not everywhere, in Philadelphia there are more black protestors, but Whites are perhaps more driven to succeed than other races. |
The undermployed/out of their field numberes have nothing to do with the recession. A lot of people speicalize in fields where the main application is being a teacher and conducting research, usually as a teacher.
Overall college unemployment is VERY low... and largely centered in specialized degrees, with people who degrees that should make it harder for them to get a job have very low unemployment.

For most severe cases of college degree unemployment seem to be by choice of people refusing to "lower theemselves" to do a job not related to their giantly crowded major.
