经济大萧条期间,16至24岁既未上学、也没有全职工作的年轻人比例有所减少。与其他年龄段不同,这种减少的趋势并未加强:7月,36%的年轻人拥有全职工作,相比经济危机之前2007年同期减少了10%。当然,在七月份,年轻人纷纷开始暑期实习,因此统计数据中反映了从事带薪实习的年轻人,和从事无薪实习但有兼职工作的年轻人。
"They're not in school, so what are they doing?" says Diana Carew, economist at Progressive Policy Institute, who studies youth unemployment. She points out that July's jobs report shows that the share of unemployed 16- to 24-year-olds not in school stood at 17.1%, compared with 11% six years ago. And while workers in general have been leaving the labor force, partly because they're aging into retirement, it's especially worrisome when young people drop out: In July, 8.4 million 16- to 24-year-olds stopped looking for work altogether, a rise from 6.8 million a year earlier.
进步政策研究所(Progressive Policy Institute)研究年轻人失业问题的经济学家戴安娜?卡鲁说:“他们没有上学,那他们到底在干什么?”她指出,7月份的就业报告显示,16至24岁未上学的无业者比例为17.1%,而六年前仅有11%。而且,个别年龄段的工人因为即将退休而不再被计入劳动力当中,而大量年轻人此时放弃求职的状况尤为令人不安:7月份,840万名16至24岁的年轻人停止求职,而一年前的这一数字只有680万。
