The global downturn has been a brutal awakening for the youngest members of the work force -- variously dubbed "the Millennials," "Generation Y" or "the Net Generation" by social researchers. "Net Geners" are, roughly, people born in the 1980s and 1990s.

According to America's Bureau of Labor Statistics, the unemployment rate among people in their 20s increased significantly in the two most recent recessions in the United States. It is likely to do so again as industries such as finance and technology, which employ lots of young people, axe thousands of jobs.

Because of the downturn, Net Geners are finding it harder to hop to new jobs. At the same time, their dissatisfaction is growing as crisis-hit firms adopt more of a command-and-control approach to management -- the antithesis of the open, collaborative style that young workers prefer.

looks like we are going to need another hissler

i'm benefitting immensely from the suffering of other generations. yippy!

sad to say, my work is doing BETTER in these hard times. The harder the times, the more law suits, and the more contracts for ikon.

i have my parents to thank for teaching me to be fiscally responsible.

What we need is to bring back the draft. Thin out generation Y's numbers a bit. At the very least it will put an end to thousands of horrible bands.

I agree...

No point in that now, seeing as the military are reaping up a lot of new recruits and re-enlistments due to the economy. They reached the quota of expanding the number of enlisted persons this month, almost two years earlier then they projected.
As for the thining out, well, we'd need to start ANOTHER war to do that.
