In Economix - a NY Times blog that looks at economics in everyday life there was this post on employment rates for people aged 16-24. While this is a macroeconmic statistic there are many microeconmic implications. What do you expect to happen to college and community college enrollment based on this? What then do you think could happen to tuition costs in the future?

the american dream has always been the idea that you could come here on a boat with nothing but the clothes on your back and still make it big, but in todays world the american dream no longer exists. The work force has become more demanding and employers are not quite satisfied with high school diplomas. the youth of our generation is beginning to understand that in order to provide for there family they are going to have to invest in an education. with more people choosing college (rise in demand) over the work force,and there being scarcity of seats will lead to a curve shift outward and a rise in price.
