Millennials Explain Why Baby Boomers Don't Understand Their Employment Struggles
Dear older generations: please stop telling young people to "go get a job" when your generation made it nearly impossible.

What was true for your parents and their generation isn't always true for us. One area where this is especially evident is in terms of jobs and education. Older individuals just don't seem to understand that the economy is in a very different state for us than it was when they were our age.

It's pretty messed up.
