So the Census proves what most people with a pulse already knew- it sucks right now. Especially if you're poor. And if you live in the Midwest. Oh, and if you're young- it sucks to be you too. Mostly because old people aren't as affected by the job shortages. And they don't have a bazillion dollars in student loan debt.
This story is pretty much a big old facts downer about who is getting the short end of the stick. Want something fun to do? See how many of the demographics they mention you fall into? Me, not too many- just living in the Midwest and being young. The news today is making me extra snarky. Snark and anger- it's what I'm full of today. And oatmeal.
