Why can't millennials find jobs?

This discussion has gotten so silly.

The reason you hires young people with no experience on the past was that you could pay them an entry level salary. Now the job market has gotten so awful that people with years of experience want those entry level salaries and at that point there's no longer an advantage to hiring the young and inexperienced candidate.

The whole "millennials only want the dream job and don't want to put on a dress shirt" is some make believe characiture that sounds like it came from a bad sitcom.

Actually that sounds like a pretty spot-on description of what's happening.

It should go without saying that millennials, those who graduated in the past 6 years especially, have had it harder than any generation that's currently in the workforce. No other generation entered the workforce at such a terrible time or with as much debt as millennials have. No other generation was impacted as much by this great recession from a hiring perspective. You've got a bunch of older individuals who want to pretend they faced all the same challenges, but they're wrong. Generation X had it easy and so did the baby boomers.

In the U.S.we can be thankful we aren't millennials from Spain, Greece, Italy, Portugal or France.
