lisa conan economist at yale has done work that indicated that people who come out in recessions even if they find work immediately, you know, they take large hits to their income immediately. and they never fully catch up with people who came out in better times. even 10, 15, 20 years later. >> it is interesting because judy woodruff took a look at the millennial generation, the kind of people are you talking about, and that is a survey that confirmed what you are saying, they are having a hard time getting a first job but also that they are quite optimistic many of them about their long-term prospects but your research or what you are citing suggests that perhaps they shouldn't be. >> perhaps shouldn't be, that's right. i fear they shouldn't be. and the long they are recession drags on, this jobs recession drags on, the less optimistic they should be. it's interesting. it's not surprising to me that they would be optimistic now. i encountered a lot of that in my own reporting. this is a generation that has really been told throughout their childhood that they are special, that they

hitler came to power, fdr became president of the united states, took the oath of office, and james conan would like us to think it was also the moment when he became president of harvard. i think he's been somewhat forgotten about. in any event, you have to recognize germany, in the first three decades of the 20th century, dominated the production of knowledge. they dominated the receipt of nobel prizes. it was a powerhouse that americans, scientists, scholars envied. we traveled to germany and to austria and places like that in order to try to soak up what they had to offer us. eventually what they gave us were great leaders. i'll come back to that. the fact of the matter is, professors of the great universities of berlin were purged very quickly. and they were purged on ideological grounds. the point is that the basis on which the purging was done was on the basis of religion, on the basis of extreme characteristics having nothing to do with the quality of their work. once that purging took place, 50% of the community in germany left and they emigrated. they emigrated to england and th

we saw what's with jay leno and conan o'brien. where the individuals. i think there are some in the room, lookers, because i've worked with bookers, the vast majority of bookers are all white women. 98% of them. so it's identifying those opportunities for the young people who want to get into those rolls. how would you say to them here to get into those positions where they can have a say? >> sure, i mean -- and i'll let everybody take that. i think one is clearly, one the biggest challenges is that entrepreneurship like everything else in the media helps people get in the door. so for a lot of us that's not an option. because you are talking about giving of your time for free in order to get your foot in the door and obviously make your way up the ladder. that's how it happens so often more than other. i think the other people many that many of us who are already a part of the pipeline have to begin making recommendation. so, for instance, when we did this msnbc piece in houston on obama 2010 and i asked who are the people that they had invited to be a
