Kinda puts the old kibosh on that gal who was telling kids to get a job if they’re hungry.

Too bad that Obama’s and his Dem buddies are such jerks that they made it illegal to hire those kids at a wage that they’re worth.

... unemployement will hit 11 to 12 percent in the next year.
It shouldn’t take nearly that long. With the pending Obama tax hikes, the “Cap ‘n’ Trade” tax, Health Care “Reform” tax, and the real impact of the Obama deficits yet to hit the economy full force, few if any businesses are willing to invest in new employees when there is little reason to believe they’ll be able to hang on to the experienced ones they have now.

The only thing keeping Obama in office is MSM lies. Soon to be over.

Not really, any teen worth his weight in salt could easily get a job, if they were properly motivated. 75% of those that want jobs have them! You just have to beat out the bottom 25%, which given todays teens isn’t exactly difficult…

Don’t be deluded. The young blame bush and HATE republicans. Most everyone else does too.
Trends in the opinions of America’s youngest voters are often a barometer of shifting political winds. And that appears to be the case in 2008. The current generation of young voters, who came of age during the George W. Bush years, is leading the way in giving the Democrats a wide advantage in party identification, just as the previous generation of young people who grew up in the Reagan years—Generation X—fueled the Republican surge of the mid-1990’s.
The decline in Republican Party affiliation among Americans in recent years is well documented, but a Gallup analysis now shows that this movement away from the GOP has occurred among nearly every major demographic subgroup. Since the first year of George W. Bush’s presidency in 2001, the Republican Party has maintained its support only among frequent churchgoers, with conservatives and senior citizens showing minimal decline.

That’s too bad about kids having a hard time finding a job. I know that 3 of my cousin’s children are having trouble finding jobs because they are competing with out of work adults. I know it has been difficult for graduating college students who have student loans to pay. I hope they will be able to find jobs in the future.
We have been fortunate to be in this economy. My daughter is able to work at the state park for 9.50 an hour, and my son has a yard business.
I am glad the kids around here can get jobs if they want/need them.
