Title: The REAL Unemployment Numbers
Topic: Unemployment
Discussed by Patrice Lee
with Generation Opportunity www.GenerationOpportunity.org
The Millennial Jobs Report for the month of November revealed that
over thirteen percent (13%) of 18-29 years olds are now unemployed.
During the month of November, 1.855 Million millennials dropped out of the job
market because they just simply could not find a job. This number is
embarrassingly high and horrifying to imagine. In just one month, my friends.
One month lost 1.855 million millennials.
Patrice Lee is the spokesperson for Generation Opportunity. Patrice
explains how the “effective” unemployment rate adjusts the numbers to
include those who have simply given up looking for a job. The government doesn’t
like to include the effective rate because it obviously makes them look bad.
Additionally, the government likes to ignore the amount of people who are
working part-time but would rather be working full-time. These numbers are
extremely high, as well.
Patrice also discusses why millennials are waiting longer to get married and
have children because they simply cannot afford to! Student loan debt is
outrageous and it doesn’t seem to be getting better any time soon. “The cost
of college sky-rocketed 500% because of the government’s intervention in the
student financing model,” Patrice says. The madness needs to stop. Free
college isn’t the answer. Student loan forgiveness is not an option. So, what
is? Listen in as Patrice gives her opinion.

Topic: Unemployment
Discussed by Corie Whalen Stephens
with Generation Opportunity www.GenerationOpportunity.org
The youth unemployment rate is still astonishing high.
For young adults 18-29
years old, the effective unemployment rate is 15.8 percent. For the black
community, it is 23.9 percent and for Hispanics it is 16.7 percent. For women
ages 18-29, the effective unemployment is 13.5 percent.
The Congressional Budget Office wasn’t lying when it reported Obamacare will
reduce the American workforce by an additional 2 million jobs over the next few
years!
Generation Opportunity is a national, non-partisan organization advocating for economic opportunity for young people through less government and more freedom.

Discussed by Derryck Green
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
Part 1 of 2
Overall, the national jobless rate rose by a tenth of a percentage point to
7.3 percent. However, the “U-6” rate - the figure that includes not just those
looking for work, but also those who are underworked and so despondent they are
no longer looking for employment, rose two-tenths of a point to 13.8 percent.
Is there any glimmer of hope for the underemployed and the unemployed? Listen in
as Derryck gives some insight.

with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)
Only 63 percent of abled-bodied people work throughout the US. To use another statistical

million.
Black unemployment, in particular, is 13.1 percent, while black teen
unemployment is 17.5 percent.
Business investment has fallen flat, but this should not worry you. Derryck
Green, with Project 21, explains.
