…that recent data reported by The Wall Street Journal’s David Wessel indicates that his economic policies have not been going well for young people.

As of 2012 (the most recent data available), “the fraction of college grads between 22 and 27 who were working in jobs that don’t generally require a bachelor’s degree” was 44 percent. And for those immediately out of college (at age 22), the figure is 56 percent.
