Unemployment Rate Getting High Off the Green Not Being Spent
Spent your last dollar from your tax rebate on gas? We all did…
The job market is crap and that’s why we chime in - because you are a TOTAL non-conformist. You are SUCH a non-conformist, you want to open up your own business… you know, because you are a young entrepreneur and all. That’s what we’re supposed to do, right?
Fishing in the job market is a losing battle and we are in the worst position. In fact, it is so bad we aren’t even a statistic! Yeah, you heard me! Sure, make us a statistic for crime, STD’s, and other related issues… but unemployment? Not according to this article (which was sent to my by Kelly from Tax Girl!).
“When you get into a recession, kids always get hit the hardest. Kids always go to the back of the hiring queue. Now, they find themselves with a lot of other people in line ahead of them.”
This is why being an entrepreneur is great - you set yourself apart from the group by being independent (a term people even my age are not familiar with). To be independent does not mean you HAVE to start your own business. However, it does mean you take initiative. Growing up in the 90’s was easy street and we have not adapted well to change.
This is the flip side of the American dream. The United States economy, which has trouble producing enough jobs to keep the middle class intact, has left these youngsters all-but-completely behind.
“These kids are being challenged in ways that my generation was not,” said David Jones, the president of the Community Service Society of New York, which tries to develop ways to connect these young men and women with employment opportunities, or get them back into school.
It is extremely difficult because, for the most part, the jobs are not there and the educational establishment is having a hard enough time teaching the kids who are still in school.
Where there are avenues of doubt, there are always alleys of opportunity. Success takes time - start small and dream big.
