"Deadbeats like the poor will always be with us, in spite of any economic conditions."
@Dex, that's the thing, isn't it? Even in the best of times from an economy perspective, there's still people that are unable to find jobs, unable to pay what they owe, etc.
I think a lot of this has to do with kids that are being brought up in environments where they're not being taught to work hard and be rewarded. To bring us back on topic with this article, I think Joey did a really good job bringing up the idea that there's lots of work out there if people are willing to do it.
This list, combined with a new generation of hard workers (and lack of a sense of entitlement) would do wonders for our country and economic situation.

"So yes - a prediction that we'll need more bill collectors is ironic in a post that's trying to be positive about economic opportunity."
@PredictableChaos, hahaha, good point. Irony aside, though, and I still have to agree with you though. The amount of people unable to pay bills is going to continue to go up and up as ppl continue to live outside their means.

"Maybe. But keep in mind that in NYC a lot of people do not own family cars. And say you live in a multi-generational home-neither you or your parents have a car but your uncle in the same household does. If you get a driver's license, then NYS law requires your uncle to add you to his policy. That's a potentially big expense, and reason why some people may elect to simply not get a license."
@Driven, this is a very good point that I hadn't thought about.
However, a young adult living at home with literally no expenses other than student loans should be able to afford paying the uncle a set amount each month to offset any increase by adding to the policy. This would teach pretty good life lessons while still maintaining some form of safety net.

and bill collecting will always be a job for people with hearts of stone and tough skin.

People steeped in bills hunting down other people in the same position...
Most people who are late on their payments still have good intentions but are simply in a temporary tight spot, with not enough money to pay everything on time. So yes - a prediction that we'll need more bill collectors is ironic in a post that's trying to be positive about economic opportunity.
It seems like a line from a stand-up comedy making fun of how much the economy is improving.

"I am wondering why is so difficult for young people getting a driver license. That sounds like quite surprise to me."
@mInvestor, it sounds like an excuse to me. Like, "oh, I would have received that job if only I had a license". If that's a barrier that someone is unable or unwilling to overcome, then they need to find something that they can do without a built-in hurdle to conveniently stop them from achieving their goals.
