Less than half of recent college graduates—part of the generation Obama has coined “Gen44” in honor of himself—are able to find a full-time job, according to a new study.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

A survey of employers by the National Association of Colleges and Employers showed those that recruit on campuses plan to boost hiring of new grads by 10.2% from last year. However, on-campus recruiting is only a small slice of the pie—the bulk of graduates find jobs on their own.

In a study to be released Thursday, the John J. Heldrich Center for Workforce Development at Rutgers University found that recent graduates are taking awhile to find work. Only 49% of graduates from the classes of 2009 to 2011 had found a full-time job within a year of finishing school, compared with 73% for students who graduated in the three years prior.

Overall, the unemployment rate among 20- to 24-year-olds with bachelor’s degrees was 6.4% in April, compared with 8.1% for the overall population, according to the Labor Department.

Cher ? @cher [iframe class="twt-follow-button" allowtransparency="true" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/follow_button.html?align=right&button=grey&screen_name=cher&show_count=false&show_screen_name=false%E2%8C%A9=en" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"][/iframe]
If ROMNEY gets elected I don't know if i can breathe same air as Him & his Right Wing Racist Homophobic Women Hating Tea Bagger Masters



Shut the windows! Seal the doors! The air has “tea bagger” cooties!

Some celebs have threatened to move to Canada if elections don’t go their way, but that might not be far enough away for Cher. Can she ever be certain she’s not breathing air that passed through the noses and mouths of Romney and his evil puppeteers?
