In “This Is What Happens When Millennials Try To Find A Job,” we discussed high youth unemployment rates and the difficulty many recent college graduates have in finding a job in today’s double-adjusted US economic “recovery.” We also noted that a lack of gainful employment opportunities and stagnant (at best) wage growth are forcing some millennials to delay “important life decisions … like buying a house.”

So while we were certainly not surprised to learn that excessive student loan and credit card debt were responsible for keeping many of America’s youth from buying their first home, we were surprised to discover that for millennials in around one third of US states, the chief impediment is apparently “not knowing how to start”...?
