Could it be because the jobs the GOP promised for over 10 years never materialized?
"We have a monster jobs problem, and young people are the biggest losers," said Andrew Sum, an economist and director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University. He noted that for recent college grads now getting by with waitressing, bartending and odd jobs, they will have to compete with new graduates for entry-level career positions when the job market eventually does improve.
"Their really high levels of underemployment and unemployment will haunt young people for at least another decade," Sum said.
Richard Freeman, an economist at Harvard University, added, "These people will be scarred, and they will be called the `lost generation' – in that their careers would not be the same way if we had avoided this economic disaster."
