The document summarizes the impact of recession on young unemployed Americans. It notes high unemployment rates among those aged 20-24 and 25-34 with only high school degrees. The recession has led to a lack of secure income, debt, depression, and many young people living with their parents. Additionally, it discusses how in the past a high school degree was sufficient for blue-collar work but now higher education is important to find stable employment. The conclusion calls for more government support for unemployed people and better social support systems to help protect young generations during economic downturns.
