This year, the share of [employed youth 16 to 24 years old] in July was 48.9 percent, the lowest July rate on record for the series, which began in 1948. (The month of July typically is the summertime peak in youth employment.) Unemployment among youth increased by 571,000 between April and July , about half as much as in each of the two previous summers.

Nice to see The Big O totally screwing over his own demo, too.* I mean, so much for the whole hope and change thing, eh? Meanwhile, in Versailles, inequality increases apace:

So if you thought Versailles was already run, or at least serviced, by trust fund babies, just wait.

NOTE * Is Obama a Republican mole? Numbers like that make me think the Lightbringer was sent not to fulfill but to destroy the Ds. Not that they weren't doing a great job of that all on their own -- Hi Harry! Hi Nancy! [waves] -- but Obama seems to have the reverse Midas touch, doesn't he? At least, for everyone but the banksters, the health insurance parasites, the telcos, Big Oil....
