Employers - Please Help Our Children to get a Job

In Help Us! Our kids need jobs outlines the story of more and more adult kids, with degrees in many cases, living at home with their parents, unable to find a job. Parents are asking employers to help their kids.

So, do these employers help their kids? Hell no. They give them outplacement services, which is a bunch of advice, but no job!

Other parents are asking their companies’ employee-assistance providers for job-finding help for their kids. ComPsych, Chicago, is fielding a growing number of requests from parents seeking outplacement services for young adult children, a spokeswoman says. While ComPsych doesn’t offer those services in such cases, it does provide financial planning and counseling help.

But what is interesting is the age group 18-34, 34% of all children are living with their parents.
