[QUOTE="Magnus, post: 800190, member: 22193"] Actually... when you consider that over 70% of all us 20 year-olds right now cannot compete with the Baby-boomers and our parent's generation for the jobs that are drying up, yes... we do have it worse. They are comparing our generation to that of the generation of the 1920's because it IS that bad. We aren't even being accounted for on the national unemployment tally because, having not had jobs, we can't qualify and therefore we are the unaccounted for jobless. If we were counted, the TRUE unemployment rate would skyrocket up to 25%. I've been seeking work, any work, for four years and haven't had a single bite apart from UPS Seasonal. How's that for bad? I am in SoCal, but that is besides the point. How bad does bad have to get before people start realizing how bad things truly are in this country, right now? The youngest of us are being hit the hardest because we just can't compete with people with decades of experience over us who REFUSE to get off of the horse and give somebody else a ride on the "American Dream". Regardless, 22.34life is right... what UPS pays PTers starting out isn't enough to even cover toilet paper and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in todays staggering rates of massive inflation and corporate greed (marking prices up by 3,000%). That's how bad things are. HOWEVER, ITS BETTER THAN NOTHING AT ALL! [/QUOTE]
