I think what we are seeing over and over again as articles similar to this run in papers all over (HuffPo, NYT, WaPo) is this point: Most young people are bad at searching for jobs! Just like we're bad at dating, we're are bad at job searching. Obviously not everyone is bad, but a large majority of people who are unemployed or underemployed do not have a system in place that makes there job search efficient or effective. I'm currently working on addressing this problem, so hopefully stories like this can stop.

How can this be true? When companies are hiring, do young people suddenly get better at finding work? Or is it more like the bottom X% of job seekers will be under- or unemployed, and sometimes X is 5%, sometimes it's 40%? A lot of people got jobs with these same tactics in previous eras, so there's something about "now" that's worse than before.
