Has the recession created a lost generation?


In the past year, hundreds of thousands of people have graduated high school and college bound for employment (or unemployment as is the usual case these days).

With so many people between the age of 16 and 24 unemployed (the current unemployment rate for this group is around 18%), how could we not have created a “lost” generation?

Watch the video above for the story from BusinessWeek.

I think that people will be able to overcome this high unemployment rate and the generation is certainly not lost. Everyone who falls into this category just needs to make sure that they are getting into the workforce or doing something to make sure that they aren’t dormant while they’re waiting for their career.
