JOBS CRISIS FOR YOUNGEST WORKERS
A new government report came out today about the state of the job market. There has been a slowdown in what was otherwise a generally positive trend over the past few months.
Unfortunately, are not that many new jobs coming into the pipeline. Last month, only 32,000 jobs were created across the country. If they were divided equally by state, that would be 640 for each. But a deeper analysis of the data shows a continuing job crisis for young adults age 16-19.
The unemployment rate for 16-19 year olds today: 56.1%.For 16-19 year old African Americans: 75.1%.For 16-19 year old Hispanics: 66%.
Check out where the presidential candidates stand on what can be done about youth employment.
