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. |
As Kasz has already pointed out, I was being sarcastic ...
The individuals who have been impacted in the most negative way by this economic downturn have been black people who only have a highschool education or less; a group this is unrepresented by the OWS movement. When you look at the employment to population ratio based on ethnicity and education, a white college graduate is the group that has (probably) been impacted the least by the economic downturn.
