80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs

80 Million Strong is a coalition built by and for young people.

Educated but unemployed, nearly 87 percent of the Millennial generation holds a high school diploma and nearly 30 percent holds a bachelor's degree or higher. It's still not enough. With tens of thousands of dollars in debt from student loans and credit cards, young people need jobs, yet in times like these the newly graduated are forced to compete with more experienced workers for even the most entry-level positions.

We need jobs now. That's why we are:

* Convening a summit of young people in Washington, DC to discuss this problem and propose solutions
* Developing federal legislation based on the summit's recommendations
* Building a grassroots coalition that truly reflects and empowers the Millennial generation

Angelo Losito i said on this site that we should hire minimum wage and bring back manufacturing to this country instead of offshoring our talent.

Tamika Adair I'm local to the DC area and I'm one of those people competing for entry-level jobs in a recession. I have ideas. How can I get involved?

Ryan Paugh You guys should really hook up with the people in the Washington, D.C. group. They're really active in the Community.
