The Young, the Restless
and the Jobless: The Case for a National Jobs Stimulus Program Targeted
on America's Young Adults
By Andrew Sum, Garth Mangum and Robert Taggart
The Young, the Restless and the Jobless clearly describes the labor
market challenges faced by 16-24 year old young adults during the
economic downturn experienced in 2001-2002. More than any other
demographic group, these young adults have borne the brunt of the
recession. This book makes the case for a national jobs stimulus
program. With the proper funding in place and the right program
leadership, a youth jobs stimulus program could offer young people
not only a chance to funnel their energies in a productive fashion
but also opportunities for civic and social engagement. Program
participation would enable young people to see the link between
hard work and economic benefits and give them real-world experience
to augment their career and personal development.
