Youth Jobless Rate Increases
July 19, 2008
washingtonpost.com -- The national youth jobless rate for June was at its highest in six decades, with 37 percent of teenagers ages 16 to 19 employed, compared with 51 percent in June 2000, according to Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies. In the past, teenagers benefited from upturns in the labor market. Since 2000, teenagers have not benefited, according to the study's analysis of 60 years' worth of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That is because teenagers are now competing with older adults going back to work, adults working second jobs to make ends meet, illegal immigrants and young adults who cannot find work in line with their college degrees and are taking entry-level retail or manual-labor jobs instead.
As the Green Party Write-in Candidate for Congress- We need to bring Renewable Energy Jobs to the Ohio River VAlley in order to to put older adults into more blue-collar jobs building renewable enrgy manufacturing parts. I will be that Candidate to go to Washington to help bring federal assistance to bring such programs to our adult workers and reopen up traditional youth job makets to our young people.
