Millennials just aren’t buying homes like the last generation did. Why? To minimize costs. Between student debt and a lack of jobs that pay well, the expense of home ownership is more intimidating than ever! Have you purchased your first home yet? If not, why? OUR TIME wants to know!

![Today’s job report showed bad news for everybody, but especially bad news for Millennials. It’s not that members of our generation are losing jobs - it’s that there simply aren’t enough jobs to go around.

An Awful Jobs Report for Young People
For most Americans, today’s jobs report was merely bad. For young people, though, the news was just downright awful.
