35、 Wallerstein stresses too much from a small study. Other things may be the cause of the kid’s problem. The study does not compare kids from divorced families with kids from “healthy” families. Wallerstein’s families divorced a generation ago. Times have changed. People feel different about divorce

For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of san Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working a
42、re getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to find jobs. Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech (“dotcom”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high
43、salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market.” according to an officer of the university.
