are you 25-35 with a BA ???



then suck your fuckin thumb puss face


=============================


"The labor market for young college graduates,
those ages 25 to 35,
remains much weaker than before
the last recession in 2001.

It has been 20 years
since young college graduates
have experienced employment rates
as low as those experienced
in the last five years.

The real hourly wages
of young college graduates
have picked up slightly
over the last year
after declines
for three years in a row.

Hourly wages in 2005 were $23.10,
up from $23.03 in 2004,
but still below the level
of $23.77 in 2001.

The failure of wages to recover
can be attributed to slow employment growth.

Compared to the last "jobless recovery"
of the early 1990s,
employment rates of young college graduates
have fallen farther
and failed to bounce back.

In 1989, the peak year before the last recession,
the employment rate for this group was 87.7%,
similar to their employment rate in 2000 (87.4%),
the most recent peak year.

Five years later, by 1994,
the employment rate of young college grads
had fully recovered,
as compared to the 1.9 percentage point decline
between the 2000 peak and 2005 (85.5%).


from the mid-1990s through 2000,
employment exceeded 87.4%
each year.
