Advocates: Fewer Jobs for Illinois Teens This Summer
A bleak outlook for summer employment for Illinois teenagers includes the loss of 18,000 jobs because of state budget cuts and the end of federal stimulus money, youth advocates said Monday.
That's on top of a predicted new low for teen employment across the nation: Only one in four U.S. 16- to 19-year-olds will find work this summer, according to a new report by Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies in Boston.
