I am working for you to find you a job, a lead, an idea, but there is a group of Americans I have not helped: college graduates.

The latest data show us the true unemployment rate for Millennials, that age group between 18–29, is sitting at 16.1%. The effective rate is a combination of kids who either gave up looking, or continue to look but are not having any luck.
