This is what we hear every year at graduation time.
Having a degree is not a sure fire foot in the door to a job. It's a ticket puncher but one still must possess the aptitude, foresight, and likeability to be hired.
Jobs are available. Just need the fortitude to look and the humility to realize as a recent graduate you have no experience and cannot "name your price."
Good job hunting!

NO, but the point of the story is that there are even LESS jobs THAN EVER BEFORE. I earned my AA in 1989. Plenty of jobs. In 1991, my BA, more jobs than even back in 1989. I had three job offers to teach in counties in Central and South Florida even before I graduated UWF. I could have went to Miami Dade County and earned a 5k bonus if I accepted employment. We are far from that now.

YES, the point of my post is FORTITUDE will find you one!
You have to let go of the doooo loop of all things being Obama's fault.

A shitty blog does not invalidate empirical data published by the government.
Shewrites is more correct than you are. The economy is doing much better than it has since 2008. This cannot be denied, and if the Republicans want to make any headway at all in 2016, they had better embrace it and outline a plan to make it even better. I haven't seen anything from the GOP that addresses this yet, unfortunately.

Good one..... His problem is he can't stop blaming Obama. Everything is Obama's fault, no matter what. He has been on a 24/7 hatefest since Obama assumed office in 2009.

As you well know, this is the slowest, anemic recovery since WW II.

What economic plans have proven effective semi-retired President Obama took office?
What has caused the Stock market to increase so much and who has that benefited most?
Why has the average household income dropped each year since President Obama took office?
Why do we have so many fewer people in the working pool than in the past 37 years?
Why are more people on welfare, food stamps, housing allowances, free cellphone, free high speed internet.
Careful now, in 2007 and 2008 Democrats controlled the House and Senate.
in 2009 and 2010, Democrats controlled the House, Senate and Oval Office.
In 2011 and 2012 Republicans controlled the House with Democrats the Senate and Oval Office.
In 2013 and 2014 Republicans controlled the House with Democrats the Senate and Oval Office.
For 2015 and 2016 we have Republicans in the House Senate with a Democrat in the Oval Office.
In effect, Progressives have controlled Washington for EIGHT YEARS and now they have a president who will veto anything sent to him.

Wow that was quite a rant.....
You still have not outlined the Republican plan to make the economy better than it is now. Just blaming Democrats is not a plan. What is the Republican plan to make things better than they are now?

Pensacola job growth best in years
http://www.pnj.com/story/money/business/2015/05/16/pensacola-job-growth-best-years/27352069/
Between March 2014 and March 2015, the growth rate for private sector jobs in Pensacola was 4.5 percent, which is one for the local economic record books.
"It's the best in over a generation," said Rick Harper, Ph.D., director of both the Studer Institute and the Haas Center for Business Research at the University of West Florida.
Okay, Karl, tell us how this article is lying.......

Service industry jobs....service industry jobs.....nothing more, nothing less. It's been that way since I arrived with DD-214 in hand from CLNC in 1986. Then we had to compete with Nam vets for preference. Today's kids have no chance with the amount of Gulf War I and II vets. There's going to be even less jobs for those who are qualified. It's why UWF is pretty much a university for transient and foreign students. Kids graduate from UWF and can't wait to move elsewhere for a decent job. Okaloosa has a ton of jobs, Mobile has a ton of jobs, why not Escambia and Santa Rosa? A lack of local grads is why UWF football will flounder even if it is successful initially. There's not enough of a local base who will give money for the program or buy season tickets. We will spend money to make a hole to suck up student activity fees at UWF, but we won't provide our tenured professors a decent living. Aside from Dr. Zumbro, one of the best and demanding profs told UWF to kiss his arse this past semester- Dr. Belko. Bense is hiring more and more adjuncts with MAs and not profs with doctorates just to try and keep the student population growing at UWF. UNIVERSITIES ARE RUN by qualified and competent faculty who have a skill set to make their students an educated populace.
Why is it too that Bense will be rewarded with running UWF into the ground with a full tenured teaching job after making 300k for x number of years and taking yearly bonuses that would equal the salary of a FT faculty member?
It's sickening.

The local 10,000 jobs with Navy Federal by 2020 that the article referred to are service industry jobs?
