Plenty of jobs here in the North East and Mid-Atlantic.
Folks might prefer to live in the South West, Cali and the like but if there are no job there...move.

I couldn't find a job in the mid Atlantic, so I moved to Cali

Part of the problem is, even when a company does decide to hire, they only hire people who are a) already employed with b) 5+ years of experience.
This pretty much rules out anyone in their early-mid 20s unless they have connections.
It's a dysfunctional corporate belief system. They could easily get entry-level people on pennies to the dollar compared to how much it costs to headhunt & poach experienced workers from other firms. If the entry-level cannonfodder don't work out, they are much easier to get rid of. And, if they do work out, the firms can mold them into whatever they want.
Of course, firms are too shortsighted and calcified in their ways, and the highest unemployment rate for every country is always people under 30.

So, are you hiring these people yourself Yuki? Are you traveling to Japan to meet with corporate headquarters to show them the error of their ways? How about corporations here in the US? You told me that the standard for having a valid beef on a message board is whether or not you're actually doing something yourself directly to benefit those on whose behalf you're complaining.

So you're not doing anything. I'm sad to hear that. I actually think your beef is valid but, if we are to apply your standard for having a valid beef, it cannot legitimately be so... sorry bro.

My disgust had to do with your stringing some poor guy who's already suffered up on the cross to suffer some more for your pet cause which has little to do with him, even though you don't give a crap about him personally at all. I never said you couldn't express your opinion on a message board.  |

Now... we both know better Yuki. Your posts were an attempt to discredit me because you see my position in that thread as an indictment of the system of which you are a part. But that's really neither here nor there as it pertains to this thread.
I just want to know what you're DOING for these folks yourself and whether or not you still want to stand on that as the acid test for whether a person has a valid beef or not.

I'm sorry if you really got that butthurt from my comments in the other thread.
Maybe next time rather than nancy gracing it up and flogging the bones of some poor guy while gleefully talking about how he has zero chance of having a decent life, you could just say what you think instead. That way you wouldn't end up butthurt when someone calls you on your vampirism.
How any of this relates to this thread about youth unemployment I don't know.
