This is the most amazing article/study I have read in the last few years. It says only 1 in 3 Millennials have full-time jobs. February 6, 2013 Washington, DC-- The Millennials Civic Health Index, released today by four of the top civic organizations in the country, paints a comprehensive picture of young Americans 18 to 29. The study challenges commonly held beliefs about a generation of young Americans whose votes played a critical role in November’s presidential election. The report highlights the diverse ways in which Millennials are taking action in their communities beyond the voting booth, online and offline, across different regions of the United States. The report, produced by the National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC), The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) at Tufts University’s Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service, Harvard University’s Institute of Politics, and Mobilize.org, illustrates: • this generation of Americans represents a potent civic and political force - comprising a national voting bloc of 21.3% of eligible voters who are playing a critical role in our democracy and driving community action nationwide; • education is strongly connected to civic engagement—some indicators show a college graduate is four or five times more likely to engage than someone without a high school diploma; <span style="font-size:1.3em;"> • Millennials are hard hit by the economic crisis—62.9% are currently working, of which 31.2% work on a part-time basis</span>—with potential implications for civic engagement; ncoc.net

RE:accept the fact that he is the worst President in history. He has done the damage of a dozen 9/11s. It will take half a century to try to repair what Ohole has done.
