It might have been more useful to release just the jobs, college, income and age data alone which show that it's the opposite of a bunch of unemployed kids: it's mostly people over 25, either gainfully employed, though underpaid, or trying to improve themselves in college, many of whom are both in school and working full time (at least 7% and quite possibly much more -- it's not explicit from the chart).

But the graphic as it is has no methodology, no background, minimal explanation, no example of the survey questionnaire, no effort to make any point with the data. I'd have to say the graphic qualifies as flaunting.

Ah, well, the movement will survive. I'm with grim here -- learn from our mistakes and missed opportunities, but by all means let's keep moving forward together.
