Dude... Where's My Job? The Age of Joblessness Hits the Millennials

"Right now, recession-driven unemployment numbers don't look good for young job hunters around the world. Jobless rates have skyrocketed to as high as 24% for the youngest in Australia's job market, and they're up to 12% for that age group in the U.S. In Colorado alone, current unemployment rates for young people have increased by 66%."
