I doubt the younger generation, having to come to terms with the burden of college tuition under an economy with a large underemployment, will support someone who says they will continue on with these same policies of Barrack Obama. Why shoot yourself in the foot for four more years of the same, lower than expected, take home pay?
You have no idea how popular Barack Obama is do you?
Let me guess, you have no idea how the economy looks like in 2016 for those young Bernie supporters.
Nearly half of U.S. workers consider themselves underemployed, report says
Three-quarters of those who label themselves as such say they're not working in a job that uses their education and training. One quarter say they are working part time but want full-time work.
Nearly half of U.S. workers consider themselves underemployed, report says
- The unemployment rate for new college grads is 5.6 percent, compared with 5.5 percent in 2007.
- Young high school grads have an unemployment rate of 17.9 percent, compared with 15.9 percent in 2007.
for recent high-school graduates, about one-third are currently underemployed, compared with roughly 27 percent in 2007
Young college grads are suffering from an underemployment rate of 12.6 percent, compared with 9.6 percent in 2007
At the same time, many are entering the workforce with higher levels of debt, thanks to tuition fees that have increased far faster than median family income.
- Recent grads who are "idled" -- neither enrolled in school nor employed -- is still higher than before the recession. For college grads, the rate is now almost 10 percent, compared with 8.4 percent in 2007. About 15.5 percent of young high-school grads are now idled, compared with 13.7 percent in 2007.
- People of color are especially hard-hit. Young black college grads have an unemployment rate of 9.4 percent, compared with 8.9 percent in April 2007.
Job quality has eroded. In 2001, almost 42 percent of new college grads found jobs with pensions. That declined to just over 29 percent in 2015
Welcome to the job market, class of 2016: It still stinks
Is this that "popularity" that's representative of Barrack Obama in 2016, that you want these recent graduates to remember?
