Lost Generation

Stephanie Flanders, in a very interesting post, provides some more evidence of problems facing the young today. Most alarmingly, when considering who has benefited from an increase in employment in the UK of 218,000 over the course of 2010, she notes that "employment among the over-65s rose by 104,000. Put it another way, 3% of the workforce has hoovered up 48% of the new jobs".

Is that those Baby Boomers again?
