Title: Millennials and the 2012 Generation
Topic: Millennials
Discussed by Paul Conway
with Generation Opportunity www.GenerationOpportunity.org
What is the youth
unemployment rate for 18-29 year olds for July 2012? Specifically
for African-Americans, Hispanics, and women in this group?
Can we point our finger directly to the Obama administration and say it has been
the cause of the ever growing number of unemployed citizens?
How has the declining labor participation rate created an additional 1.7 million
young adults that are not counted as "unemployed"?
If the labor force participation rate were factored into the 18-29 youth
unemployment calculation, what would the actual 18-29 unemployment rate be?
Tell us more about generation opportunity and how our listeners can get
involved!

Part 1 of 2
Does the
unemployment rate for July indicate an improving job market? What
age group is being most affected by joblessness right now? What is the reason
for this? Do the twenty-something's deserve better?
As a whole, will today's twenty-something generation be better off than their
parents, will they fare the same, or will this be the first generation ever in
America that will fare worse than their parents, again as a whole?
Do the twenty-something's, you call them Millennials, wake up each day to an
economic reality which includes record high unemployment coupled with fewer and
fewer job opportunities?
