Joe Wilson, R-SC
"Mr. Speaker, in Wednesday's Politico, Karen Agness, the director of academic programs at the American Enterprise Institute, wrote a column regarding recent college graduates and their search to find a job. Agness writes, ``Government data last year found that 53.6 percent of people under age twenty-five with a bachelor's degree--about 1.5 million people--were unemployed or underemployed. It is the highest percentage in more than a decade, reflecting just how far the economy is from recovery.''"
