youth employment rates lowest in 39 years YOUTH EMPLOYMENT RATE FELL TO LOWEST LEVEL FOR JANUARY IN 39 YEARS Washington, DC - The Children's Defense Fund (CDF) today said that only 34 percent of teenagers age 16-19 were employed (part- or full-time) in January 2004, marking the lowest youth employment rate for the month of January since 1965. This finding, based on Labor Department figures, comes on the heels of the Bush Administration slashing nearly a third of a billion dollars from youth employment programs during the last two years, CDF noted. "Young workers are often the last hired and first fired, and that certainly appears to be the case here," said Arloc Sherman, a Senior Research Associate at CDF. "Young workers these days often use these jobs to help save for college, support their family, or just give them a good strong launch into the workforce." <more> childrensdefense.org
