Report on Youth Employment Rates

A Congressional Budget Office analysis of youth labor market trends
won't be news to any teen who's tried to find a summer job in the past
couple of years. In the labor market downturn between 2000 and 2003,
young males have had a harder time getting a job than females, and
pressure from low-wage adults is squeezing teens out of workforce. The
report examines factors that may account for the trends, such as an
increase in school enrollment rates, and presents information on the
percentage of youth who are neither enrolled in school nor employed.
