For Youth, It’s a Great Depression
Please check out my story about youth unemployment at Youth Today, which also recently re-did its website. Here is the lede:
“Unemployment among teens and young adults is the highest it has been since the government started keeping records and represents conditions of a depression rather than just a deep recession. Perhaps more troubling, the effects of these depression-like conditions could have broad implications for these young people, including lower future wages, that could persist for a decade or more.”
