Since the recession, tens of thousands of 18-24 year olds are sleeping on friends’ couches, in cars, and on the streets. Many are hesitant to seek help and are hopeful that their situation is only temporary. It is also difficult to get an accurate count of these young Americans as they are an elusive group, so there is no way to tell exactly how many young adults are struggling to find housing. What should be done about this new youth crisis? LIKE & REBLOG to share your opinion!

58% of the jobs created in 2012 have been filled by Americans over 55 who have more work experience than younger Americans. While this is good news for our parents and grandparents, we need young Americans to develop workforce experience so that when older Americans retire, we can comfortably fill their positions. REBLOG this if you agree and support our One Million Jobs campaignwww.ourtime.org.

It appears that some student loan companies have apparently been adjusting the amount borrowers owe each month without their consent so that they can extend the length of student loan repayment plans and charge the borrowers more in interest. LIKE and SHARE if you think that’s outrageous, and that changes to your student loan repayment plans shouldn’t be made without your consent!
