Youth Unemployment in United States in Line With Arab Spring Countries

Posted on November 14, 2011
Is it useful to think of the Occupy movement more as a “left” movement or a “youth” movement? To answer that question, it’s worth looking into data on the young, particularly as it relates to unemployment.

To leave the United States for a minute, one way people are trying to understand the Arab Spring is through the lens of mass youth unemployment and inequality. Given how high unemployment has been in these MENA – Middle-East and North African – countries, what else could we expect besides revolution?

3. As I said, that is the vibe I get.

They are extremely informed. Hell, I had a conversation with "Jersey" not too long ago on Economics. At 22 she'd put many of us to shame.

But I have heard this from media over and over and over again. "WHAT DO THEY WANT?" "THEY DON'T KNOW A THING."

i`m so old i remember quitting a job and having another the next day.if one was really a go get'r one could quit in the morning and have another by noon.
the word was always dress like you were going to be put to work when you apply. i was asked if i could start today but i said tomorrow and i started the next morning. union job,piece rate,free insurance,and other great benefits. i learned a highly skill trade and 8 yrs later it was sold to the koreans and taiwanese.

most of my daughter`s friends do not have access to entry level jobs that can build a middle class.
