Millennials more than double national unemployment average at 12.7 percent
JOB CREATION
illennials are often painted as lazy, entitled youths, sitting jobless in their parents' basements; however, this generation faces real economic and labor force issues that have led to startling unemployment rates. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 12.7 percent of millennials were unemployed during September 2016. This is compared to the national average of 5 percent. “Today’s lackluster job numbers signal that our sputtering economy has reached an unacceptable new normal,” Patrice Lee, the spokeswoman for Generation Opportunity, a non-partisan organization that supports young people, told Breitbart News.

Adam Braun to share how he left Wall Street to make a difference Andrew Smith Daily News Reporter
When Adam Braun left Wall Street to start his organization “Pencils of Promise,” people thought he was crazy. Seven years and 360 schools later has shown the move to be a good one. Now a New York Times best-seller, Braun will be speaking to students at 7:30 p.m. today in Pruis Hall about his Pencils of Promise and “The Importance of Being a Global Citizen.” Braun will be speaking about how anyone can get involved and make a difference in the world. “The goal is really to show an example to students that you can use your life as an instrument of service to others and to make a positive difference in the world,” Braun said. Raegan Allen, a freshman actuarial science major, is planning to attend the talk because of her interest in Pencils of Promise. “I am really excited to hear Adam’s message about helping others and his story,” Allen said. “I think that the goal of his organization is very important and one we should all help support.” See ADAM BRAUN, page 3

Sophomore running back James Gilbert stole the show, but it’s hard to ignore Ball State’s lackluster performance in the first half against Buffalo on Saturday. The Cardinals had three turnovers and punted four times in the first two quarters, leading to a 14-7 halftime deficit. It was the fifth time in seven games this season that they have been behind coming out of the locker room. Unlike the last two weeks, Ball State was able to fight back for a 31-21 victory. But head coach Mike Neu knows his team has got to be better from the opening kickoff.
