Agreed. People who use trigger warnings for nonsense like is an insult those who actually need them. I don't even know how this is newsworthy, after all 40% of unemployed workers are millennials.

I'm struggling to understand what that last part has to do with the article as a whol.

I'm sure you struggle with a lot of things.

Only when people use biased info in a misguided attempt to be critical, when in reality they're only making themselves look dumb! (as well as insensitive, which you recently claimed I was, haha!)

The link you posted doesn't say that. It says that 40% of the unemployed are millennials. So if you took 10 random unemployed people, 4 of them should be millennials. From the data given, we can't really determine what percentage of millennials are unemployed.

That said, you should take unemployment statistics with a grain of salt - Those who remain unemployed for too long have a tendency to fall off the official government statistics, making it impossible to work out what the actual unemployment figures are.

Cheers!

Good catch, I should reword that.
