美國年輕人年收入銳減1萬美元

????這群人不能（也不該）被忽視。

????正如《紐約時報》（New York Times）本周所指，政治策略師們將這個群體視為從佛羅里達州到科羅拉多州的總統大選中“潛在影響力最大、但常常被忽視的選民群體之一”。全美沒有大學學歷、目前也不在校的年輕人約有1,800萬，占18-29歲合格選民的40%以上。

????奧巴馬和羅姆尼的競選班子目前都在嘗試微調向這個群體（很難吸引這一群體參與投票）傳遞的信息。如何改善這個群體的前途？候選人能拿出什么樣的方案？值得期待。

????They can't (and shouldn't) be ignored.

????As The New York Times highlighted this week, political strategists see this group as "one of the most potentially powerful but often overlook voting blocs" during this presidential election in battleground states from Florida to Colorado. Across the U.S., the roughly 18 million young adults who don't have college degrees or aren't pursuing one reflect more than 40% of eligible voters 18 to 29 years old.

????And as the Obama and Romney campaigns try to tweak their messages to this group -- a group that's tough to get to the polls -- it will be interesting to watch what plans they might come up with to make their futures brighter.
