In my neighborhood, there are a lot of families with some successful people -- doctors, lawyers, intelligence agency folks, et cetera, and many of them have kids that are in college or just graduated recently. Two of them had to move back home from DC due to losing their jobs, and both are trying to work around the neighborhood for some extra cash, tasks like painting, mulching, and the like. My neighbor's daughter just graduated from college in December and there are basically no employment opportunities for her, so she's going to get her master's. There are far more people I know now in the 22-26 age group that don't have a job. And you have to wonder what sort of family pressure is put on these kids. I graduated right after the financial crisis in 2009 and it took me a couple years to find a job, I really hope it's not going to be worse for them,
@Seven is definitely right when he says this situation is destroying some futures in more ways than one.
