A R T H U R P R E L L . C O M

Since Obama took office,the Youth Misery Index(YMI) has increased by36%. Young America's

Foundation calculates theYouth Misery Index by

summing YouthUnemployment, StudentLoan Debt, and National

Debt per Capita.

STUDENT LOAN DEBT

Under Obama, student loan hasincreased by 86%, nearly double. The burden of student debt hascontributed to youth misery andprohibits young people from out-earning their parents' generation

Though the numbers are a littlemurky, youth unemployment hasgenerally fallen since 2009Sharp racial divides cause blackunemployment to remain at overdouble white unemployment.

NATIONAL DEBTObama's administration hasunarguably seen a huge increasein national debt. Approved by Congress, theObama administration watchedas national debt tripled over thecourse of the past 8 years.

Time will tell how Obama’s legacy will betold in the history books, but given hisrecord with debt, student loans, andunemployment, young people seem to besignificantly worse off before the Obamaadministration than they are at its close.
