If higher paying jobs were being replaced by lower paying jobs how do you explain this graph?
Now you are entering into the realm of using facts instead of feeeeeeeeeeeelings........don't you know how unfair that is to others?
I look around me and see that things are good for people in my neighborhood. Now. I look around and see that things are not so good for a lot of other people to the point that they feel beaten down before they ever get a start.
Drugs and alcohol have taken their toll, too. And when the mtv generation wakes up and finds out that few employers want to hire people with funny hair jobs, nose rings and tattoos, they will probably blame somebody.
There are some fine young people. By the time they get through college, I wonder if the jobs they are dreaming of will have gone overseas. But college will get them first in line for a government job, no matter what their major.
I'd best leave the rest of the young and restless alone.
