Congressman Gmß Floyd Fithian Reports

Thousands of young people across Indiana are getting out of school this month and are searching for temporary or fulltime employment. But jobs for young people are hard to find. Nationwide, the unemployment rate is slowly beginning to drop. At least seven million employable Americans are looking for work right now. That figure is too high, but at least it is an improvement from this time last year. Tragically, however, the job market hasn’t improved nearly as much for young Americans. Among youth age 16 through 19 the unemployment rate has stuck at nearly 20 per cent for the past 12 months. The slightly older group — Between 20 and 24 years of age — fares little better, with 13 per cent out of work. In fact, more than one-fourth of all unemployed workers are young people, many of them trying for the first time to break into the job market. How discouraging it must be for these new and willing workers to be unable to find a job! Discouraged job-seekers often just give up. Then the problem of unemployment is not just economic, but has far wider implications. High joblessness leads to less economic activity’s, ‘lower family income, more crime, more drug addiction and more social unrest. It is not a pleasant picture. Without practical experience, many young people find that prospective employers are reluctant to hire them. With an education which frequently doesn't match any available jobs, many college and high school graduates are forced to settle for unsatisfying work. One solution to the problem must come in the area of improved career counseling and job placement for young people. Fully 80 per cent of our youth enter the fulltime labor force without four-year college degrees

and with little or no career-entry information. I am co-sponsoring the youth employment act, which would upgrade government efforts in assisting high school and college aged youth at selecting career opportunities, finding jobs' once their education is complete and carrying on with job training through funds for continuing education. This bill would establish an office of youth employment within the department of labor, which would focus on summer jobs, part-time employment, in-school job counseling and career-oriented work, in addition to job placement in fulltime positions. If the unemployment situation for young people remains bad, the government should establish a young adult conservation corps, similar to the CCC of the 19305. Hundreds of needed public service projects could be completed. and it would provide healthy work for young people. No person, old or young, should be forced to remain idle due to economic conditions. It’s critically important that our young Americans are taken out of the unemployment line and put back into the job market.
