Obama’s Watch: 15% of Young People Out of School and Work

Hoax-and-Chains

(AP) Almost 6 Million young people (ages 16-24) are neither in school or working, according to a new study by The Opportunity Nation Coalition released today.

On the 18 October, I wrote here that in Los Angeles County, joblessness and poverty is a growing problem for both young people and Asian Americans during Obama’s Watch.

Other studies have shown that young adults are missing out on a window to build skills they will need later in life or use the knowledge they acquired in college. Without those experiences, they are less likely to command higher salaries and are more likely to be an economic drain on their communities.
