The article stated that millions of high school and college students are looking for jobs this summer but the truth is that employers are not hiring until the economy shows more stability. The jobs that are usually done by youth students are going to be empty because of the instability of the economy, so people should expect fewer lifeguards on duty at public beaches this summer in California for example, and fewer workers at some Massachusetts state parks and camping grounds and taller grass outside state buildings in Kentucky. Meece stated that Northeastern researchers estimated that an additional $1 billion federal infusion would create some 300,000 job slots this summer, barely putting a dent in the demand for jobs.
I think this is the worst year for the youth workers because the economy is not getting better that’s my opinion, and students don’t have another option than look for a job inside college and even that is getting hard to get a job because there are millions of applications and not that many jobs. I believe that right now is even more difficult to find a job for teenagers because there were too many layoffs last year, so there are more people looking for jobs even the ones that teenagers used to do during the summer.
