Grads Shun Italy Disease Proving Dirty U.S. Hands Work

[dkf]

Cinzia Oliva may be Devon Wright’s worst nightmare, even though the Italian woman and the American man have never met.
Oliva, 35, hasn’t held a year-round job since she graduated from the University of Naples with an art degree 12 years ago, and now manages a bar near Rome. Wright, 22, who got his B.A. in history from Middlebury College in Vermont four months ago, moved in with his parents in Queens, New York, because he is unemployed.

“I knew it would be difficult, but I thought I’d have a job by now,” said Wright, who began seeking work in April and says he lost count of how many resumes he’s sent out. “All of these places I’m applying to say they want prior experience, but how am I supposed to gain experience if I can’t get a job?”

He’s now put off the hunt for professional work and is seeking a job as a short-order cook or bookseller.

5. yeah, you'd never know it's trying to make the case that the US has 8% unemployment v. the EU's

10% because the US doesn't have any of those nasty regulations that prevent employers from hiring people part-time at shit wages with no benefits or job security.

8. "U.S. Grads Take Jobs as Waiters While Italians Hold Out and Stay Jobless"

Bloomberg is also using this headline for the story.

6. Apart from the totally meaningless headline ...

... this article appears to be trying to make the case that, in order to increase youth employment, we really need to be sure to maltreat older workers. It's poorly written, poorly researched nonsense.

7. Huh?

Is this headline in English?

It might be nice if the OP wrote- in his or her own words - what the HELL that headline means.
