85%...And That's Not A Test Score

The number 85 may be ringing in your ear...but you're not the only one.  If you're a recent college grad, you most likely are part of the number 85. It has officially been stated that 85% of college grads have moved back home, and the title unemployment has followed them.

With no jobs available, young adults have no other options than to return to their childhood bedrooms. Jobs are say...more than hard to find during these times. They seem nearly impossible. According to Time, the age range of 25 and under has an unemployment rate of 54%. In case you're bad at math...that's over half of young adults 25 and under.

For a small amount of good news, it is predicted that a higher percentage of graduates from this current class will be hired after graduation. Though, for a large majority, the search for employment will continue. And for those graduates of 2010, I hope you find some luck with this predicted wave of companies looking for new talent. I fall into that category; I'm a 2010 graduate...and I'm still on the search.  Hopefully times are changing.
