With the National unemployment rate pushing 10% it makes six people looking at every job opening. That means that this young group has 30 people looking at any job opening. The article said this group includes students. What it didn’t bring out was there are married couples with children included. Think about how outrageous it is that there all this many people needing jobs and we have professional sports figures whose salaries amount to over three thousand dollars for every minute they are on the court or field. To top that people at GS and many other places have salaries and bonuses that reap over ten thousand dollars for every minute they are on the job!
No one on this Earth is worth that kind of money, especially in the light of the fact that if you trace a lot of these salaries back it is coming out of the very pockets of the low paid and unemployed 16-24 year olds! What a legacy we are leaving for the young.OUR greed is the seed that will trap our young in need.We need to be taken to the woodshed. We need to wake up.
