Dire Straits for Many Workers: The Economic Case for New Job Creation and Retraining Strategies in 2010 for the Nation's Young, and Dislocated Blue Collar Workers - Center for Labor Market Studies, Dec. 2009

The severe teen joblessness problem is a year-round problem not confined to the summer. A job stimulus program for teens is needed that will create jobs for youth in the public and nonprofit sectors and provide economic incentives through wage subsidies for private for profit employers to hire teens. The youth job creation programs would provide both year-round and summer jobs. A wage subsidy offer of 30% of the gross wage for 6 to 9 months would be provided to hire targeted teens with a good faith effort to keep them on the payroll after the wage subsidy is over. Sustained, private sector work experience is needed to boost the long-term employment and earnings of teens in the U.S. We also need to have teens exposed to firms in a much broader set of industries. Teen workers are increasingly confined to jobs in retail stores, fast-food restaurants, health care, and low level services. They are increasingly shut out of jobs in construction, manufacturing, utilities, transportation, finance, professional services, and state/local government. Their lack of broad-based work exposure is harming both their immediate and longer term job prospects and earnings. Employers are increasingly critical of their lack of employability skills and their poor work behavior, but they can only gain such skills through work itself. No demographic group is in more need of immediate job opportunities than teens and young adults (20-24). - December 2009 |
