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

Image "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%." Judy London

And it's all due to one reason: his inability to let go. With one mediocre season behind him after "unretiring" last year, the sports world is now alive with speculation that Favre will unretire for a second time and - much to the horror of die-hard Packer fans - take the offensive helm for their primary rival, the Minnesota Vikings.
