Boomer Babies 'Boomerang': Happy Homecoming? Or Are Grads Giving Up? | The Business Desk with Paul Solman | PBS NewsHour

TOPIC: Business & Economy

Not a blog but a "q-and-a" (pronounced "quanda"), this page is about the basics of economics. Its premise: there are no stupid q's. And if some a's seem dim, take heart: I can brighten them up in response to objections, corrections, refinements. Comments on posts feature yours, and my responses. Enough of you now frequent and query the quanda that I post most every day. Haven't seen your q yet? Send it again. All a's should be taken with a shaker of sodium chloride, if not a Lot's-wife's-worth. And speaking of salt, the mustache and "hair" in the photo has a lot less of that condiment, and rather more pepper, than can be seen on TV. Think of it as time travel.

The boomerang business is booming. Ever since our story on "accordion families" and "boomerang kids" ran last week, personal testimony has been coming in over the transom. We'll share a sample of it with you. Please feel encouraged to add your own to the community of comments.
