More than 17 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds who are looking for work can’t find a job, a rate that is close to a 30-year high.
The employment-to-population ratio for that demographic—the percentage of young people who are working—has plunged to 45 percent.

Yeah. That's not necessarily bad or surprising. Kids are just going straight into college to put off dealing with the #ty job market.

When I was in school I was working.
And now that I'm working, I'm back in school.
People forgot how to multitask?

I'm saying that the students and their parents are freaking out. The students may not put a genuine effort into getting a job because their parents have prioritized their education and are covering expenses for them.

I see what you're saying, but I can't help but think that's a part of the problem. Parents convering expenses this late in life can't have a positive outcome in the long run. Work ethic is built by..... working.... hard.
