Teens Face Worst Summer Job Market in Nearly 40 Years

... Despite the progress we made in the 1990s, this nation's teens
have been bumped down the queue by out-of-work older adults and
college grads entering the job market," said Andrew Sum, director of
the Center for Labor Market Studies and lead author of the report. It

MILWAUKEE - Three out of four employers expect to cut jobs or hold off
on hiring this summer, contributing to the worst employment market
since the early 1990s, a new survey said Tuesday.

About two-thirds of employers said they don't expect to hire any
additional workers and 9 percent plan to eliminate jobs during the
July-to-September quarter, according to the survey by Manpower Inc."
