It is going to be tough for everyone to find jobs harry because your union
membership brotherhood of local greedy slobs has forced them to more
cooperative horizons. Didn't you know that? You sound surprised that this
phenomenon is occurring and in reality you caused its occurrence. See,,
harry,,, you being a union member your whole working career has caused
irreversible damage to our economy. I know you do not see it or understand
it because your entire career was pushing some button on an assemblyline or
something that was protected by your union membership, so you never needed
to compete for work in the real market place. You were never valuable enough
to be in demand, you were forced to do the work and you were very expensive
and uncompetitive. Now, because of globalization and you union morons, there
are fewer jobs for our children. And you wonder why.
It is because of you and your moron uneducated union and anti business slobs
who have massive negative affects on our economy and job availability.

So you will blame Bush,,,,,,

Your not too smart are ya there Harry,,,, it shows,,,,,
And it has an affect on teens looking for what few jobs you union slobs have
left us with.....

And Harry will blame bush,,,,,,,

GYHAS,,,,!!!!

Teen job market hardly working

Experts see summer hiring at record low

By Michael Oneal and Robert Manor, Tribune staff reporters.


With summer at the doorstep, the annual ritual of teen job hunting
already has begun.

But after three years of a severe hiring drought, will jobs be any
easier to find this year?

Don't count on it, many experts say.

While the broad U.S. job market finally improved in March, employment
among 16- to 19-year-olds has moved steadily in the other direction
throughout the first three months of this year, Labor Department data
show.

That bodes poorly for the national youth employment outlook, said
Andrew Sum, director of the Center for Labor Market Studies at
Northeastern University in Boston.

"Last summer was the worst since World War II," he said.

"This year, the data are one point below where they were last year."

Despite such a large hiring slump, federal money for programs that
help teens find jobs has been shrinking steadily throughout the
post-recession "jobless recovery."

In Chicago, federal funding for employment programs will shrink by 11
percent, to $11 million, for the budget year that begins July 1, said
Richard Crawford, deputy commissioner for programs in the city's
Office of Workforce Development.

The reduction comes after a 20 percent cut a couple of years ago.

"There is no doubt that when budgets get cut, dollars for youth--our
future--get cut first," Crawford said.

"It's been very difficult."

These trends are especially troubling given the important role that
youth employment plays in the health of the broader labor market.

Studies show that those who work in their teens make more money in
their 20s.

States with high teen employment also tend to have lower unemployment
among older groups.

Teens are less likely to drop out, become pregnant or get in trouble
with the police if they have a job in high school, Sum said.

"Having a job is the cornerstone of stability in this society," said
Jack Fitzpatrick, president of Employment and Employer Services, an
agency that helps 4,000 people find jobs each year.

"If you don't have a job, you are in harm's way."
