LeviF Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) They are "echo boomers" right? Look at this way... They will inherit their parent's house (mortgage) when the boomers drop. I've heard "boomerangs" used to describe this generation. Edit: Just realized that's what the article uses.

Recent college grads -- like you -- are generally morons who think the world owes them a free, easy life without any hard work.

Fezmid Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 "Stubbornly high unemployment -- nearly 15% for those ages 20-24" Am I the only one that can't figure out why unemployment is 15% for ages 20-24, yet 85% of college grads move back home....? Shouldn't that number be closer to 15%....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
