Aside from not citing any source whatsoever, it's not clear how "youth want jobs" translates to "youths are more conservative". Nor how working hard and being against pollution are mutually exclusive.
Because all liberals hate work, want everything for free, and never accomplish anything ever.
Welcome to city-data.
Adults have virtually no interest in teens as human beings; we are voyeuristically consumed with knowing what they're up to, and love chatting about why they do things. But, beyond that...who will they vote for (like that actually matters).
The government is in the process of lowering fannie / freddie down payment requirements for first time homebuyers, b/c people in this age range have absolutely no savings.
And round and round we go. Encourage people to buy something they can't afford, get into debt so they can be enslaved.
Not all of 'em. Romney got the 18-20 vote, by a reasonably decent margin.
Except for the fact that there is zero data that backs this claim up outside of an article from the Washington Post that doesn't link it's source for their made up numbers.

Today's youth has no time for any of this. It's about working long hours and pursuing low cost college degrees and then pursuing a lifestyle working extremely hard and saving 75% of earnings in savings and not touching it for 40 years
Today's youth are more Conservative than they've ever been in 100 years. What's up with this trend?
Nothing in that post has anything to do with being liberal or conservative.
There seems to be an absence of actual research here. Let me Google that for you.

...this generation stood out in the past two presidential elections as strikingly Democratic. According to national exit polls, the young-old partisan voting gaps in 2008 and 2012 were among the largest in the modern era, with Millennials far more supportive than older generations of Barack Obama. As Obama’s approval ratings have declined in recent years, however, Millennials have joined older adults in lowering their assessments of the president.
Yet Millennials continue to view the Democratic Party more favorably than the Republican Party. And Millennials today are still the only generation in which liberals are not significantly outnumbered by conservatives.
