16.8% of millenials unemployed or have given up looking for job
New jobs numbers for June released Friday show that Americans 18-29 years old continue to suffer under the Obama administration with a 12.8% unemployment rate.

The jobs report shows that there are now 1.735 million young Americans who are no longer counted as "employed" because they have given up looking for a job and have left the labor force all together.
The real unemployment rate would be about 15% if all the people who left the market were counted. Even the MSM would have to notice that...
Generation Opportunity -- a conservative non-profit focused on young Americans -- notes that if "the labor force participation rate were factored into the overall 18-29 youth unemployment calculation, the actual 18-29-unemployment rate would rise to 16.8 percent."
There's an opportunity here for Republicans to gain the votes of a generation, if it's played right.
