Atlantic Article on Joblessness

Some misc. notes on this grim but important article http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/03/how-a-new-jobless-era-will-transform-america/7919/

Disturbing re 20somethings "They’re used to checklists" & “don’t excel at leadership or independent problem solving.” from an author names Ron Alsop

Talks about problems if people get their career started during a tough economic times--they become less risk averse, develop bad habits. (this is layered on top of existing problems w the generation suggested above).

Volunteering as a way to help people stay connected?
