The Great Recession of the late 2000’s delivered the biggest blow to the American economy since The Great Depression. Today, a slow-recovering economy and stagnant job market is a colossal concern for millennials -- some days, it seems like the best chance for employment is to become a reality TV star.

Now that summer’s here, many people who just graduated or are on vacay from school are looking for the dreaded J-word: a job. And since it’s election year, there’s plenty of talk about jobs going on because we all want to be gainfully employed and stuff. Young people might find it especially hard 'cause you know, "1 of 2 recent graduates are unemployed or underemployed." Luckily Nas is supporting an idea that might make a difference.
