By Paul Bedard (@SecretsBedard) • 1/17/17 10:39 AM
An index of "misery" for young Americans has reached a record high, the latest sign of disappointment for one of President Obama's coalition members.
The "Youth Misery Index" spiked to 113.4 in early 2017, up from 109.9 last January, and 83.5 in 2009 when Obama took office, according to the conservative Young America's Foundation. It is calculated by adding youth unemployment, student loan debt, and national debt per capita numbers.
