A recent poll conducted by Experience.com found that job creation is the most important issue in the current presidential debate when it comes to Generation Y voters, according to an article by BusinessWeek. Of the 12,900 respondents to the poll, 77 percent said entry-level job creation would factor into who they plan to vote for.

This isn’t all surprising, as the economy continues to decline. In September, non-farm payroll employment decreased by 159,000 jobs, the highest number of job cuts in more than five years, while the unemployment rate stayed steady at 6.1 percent.
