Come Recommended is a community always looking to expand its reach to others who support the cause of helping entry-level and internship candidates find jobs. This led us to join the grassroots coalition 80 Million Strong.
80 Million Strong is a coalition composed of Millenials and organizations that support them in their efforts to find employment during this slow economy. According to the 80 Million Strong Web site, nearly 87 percent of Millenials have a high school diploma and nearly thirty percent have a college degree or higher-and are in tens of thousands of dollars in debt. These young professionals need jobs and are faced with competing against more experienced workers for entry-level positions. We cannot allow the definition of “entry-level” to continue becoming more and more unattainable for recent college graduates.
80 Million Strong plans to convene a summit of young people in Washington, DC, to discuss the problem of unemployment among Millenials and develop federal legislation based on the discussion in order to build a grassroots coalition that empowers the millennial generation.
Come Recommended has added our voice to this coalition, and we encourage our members and supporters to do the same. It’s free and very easy. For more information, visit www.80millionstrong.org or follow them on Twitter at @80MS.
