The National University System was established in 2001 to meet the emerging challenges and demands of education in the 21st century. The System is uniquely aligned to connect a diverse population of students to a network of innovative educational programs that are relevant to their lives, careers, and the marketplace and are delivered in a format that respects competing life priorities.

Answer: No
Although job numbers have slightly improved, more are actually unemployed than ever before as employment is not keeping up with population growth. One must actively be seeking work to be counted in the labor force. The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows another 6.8 million available and wanting to work but not included in the official count of 14.4 million unemployed as of July 2011. The number not working therefore is actually higher in 2011 than in 2010. Young people in particular show lower labor force participation rates. In addition, as the economy sputters, rising inflation is eating into “real” income gains.
