I know this has already been discussed but.

This is unreal.

Nearly half of millennials still live with their parents until they're 35. There's no way.

If you can't afford too live on your own, you can't afford it. I have a couple of friends in that situation. Hell, my mother is in that situation. If the economy was better, if people weren't saddled with so much debt, the amount of people living with their folks to cut costs would be much lower. Pretty obvious, really, not unreal at all.

When you need experience before you can gain the experience to get a job that pays above minimum wage often times you basically work for free as an intern. There's no way you are making enough money part time in retail to afford an apartment and transportation.

The housing market responds to how many people are living out of their parent's houses. If 50% of people 18-35 are still living at home with their mommy and daddy because they can't afford it, the cost of living adjusts to make it so that you can afford it.

You can afford it you just cannot afford to live as comfortably as you want to. You spend rent money on ipads and video games.

A good sign of how millenials think is shown in the manufacturing field. A lot of the jobs we sent overseas are slowly coming back along with companies who never left and are growing. There are literally dozens of big manufacturers I've talked to in this region who cannot find workers to replace the boomers who are retiring. Some have had jobs posted for months and cannot fill them. These are mostly $35k-65k starting out with the higher end being maintenance positions. Also, many are air-conditioned and clean enough you could eat off the floor so it's not horrible working conditions.

They don't want people with exact skills for the job as they will train them on site, but are looking mostly for "soft skills" and the millenials they interview don't have them. If you're not familiar with the term, simply put its good work ethic (showing up on time, teamwork, etc.) but millenials can't do it and would rather live on welfare in their parents basement.

Except those retail places ensure you have open availability or they won't hire you...but give you four hour shifts so you don't earn benefits.

That being said, there is something to people who live at home but they aren't saving up money or looking for better employment.

I've noticed this too. There seems to be this idea that the only jobs worth pursuing are ones where you choose your hours and can sit and text whenever. A factory job at 65k sounds pretty sweet. Only down side is how secure is it in a country where manufacturing is constantly being shipped overseas and which skills are transferable for a career shift.

well considering most millennials saw how bad most people got swindled during recession since a good portion of the sub-prime loans were used to buy homes, or were probably forced to move back to their parents house after seeing their property bought plummet in value due to toxic loans in their area, seems like a pretty good use of money

Your supposed to work retail in high school. Gain a marketable skill then move on. Which of these steps, or all, were skipped?

Ok first of all, LOL @ how you think rents work, secondly; suck my dick you old gently caress I live on my own. There are lots of reasons one might be forced to move back home and I think it's just you being a bitter old person to assume that a majority of these people are just lazy fucks on welfare. That doesn't even make sense, welfare doesn't work like that.

Also the "everyone owns a house and buys a new car every two years like clockwork" lifestyle isn't necessarily sustainable. It requires a really really strong economy with a surplus of middle class income jobs for a large number of people to make that financial leap.

In past generations multigenerational households were the norm.

I worked retail while I was paying off university since part time work in my area was essentially just retail. I'm working a real job now and it's all behind me. Most of my friends seem to be stuck in retail for one reason or another. When I had a hard time to find my current job most of the roadblocks were requiring 5 plus years of related experience in which ever field - including entry positions. Something I found incredibly odd. So rather than stay retail all my life I took another loan and went back to school.

That just means there's tons of housing available. Way more than there used to be at way lower a price. Hell you could buy a property and rent it out and make money if only millennials would move out of their parent's houses and stop perpetuating the crisis.

I applied to writing jobs, desk jobs (data entry, transcriber), reporting jobs. Anything I could use for my earlier degrees since I was originally going to be a writer. I then switched to computer science and got a job through coop.

So I guess one thing that I learned and recommend to anyone having job difficulty is that university/college is useless unless it has coop or if you know someone.

I don't have specific examples as that was 3 years ago, but going through the job bank of Canada 5 years experience was the general requirement. That and speaking French. But that's my country's unique trait.

yeah okay w/e grandpa thats why most properties are being bought up to house and totally not being used to gentrify an area, making living in an urban area vastly more expensive

unless you bought one of those cheap properties like a a decade ago when they had no value and no one had any money which is why we bailed out the banks in the first place, because they said they had no money

if millennials took factory jobs, the floor talk would be all dank memes, not racist slurs. which would alienate the next generation: "sir, they keep saying they 'poned' me. what does that mean?" and then the foreman goes: "you got a lot to learn, nooblet."
