During the past few years, the Center for Labor Market Studies of Northeastern University has been engaged in a diverse array of research activities focused on changing labor market conditions for the teens of the nation and young adults (those 16-24 years old) from the late 1980s to the present. Employment rates for teens fell considerably from 2000 through 2004 and remained at low levels for most of the past two years despite relatively strong overall job growth. The annual average employment rates for teens in 2004 and 2005 were the lowest in the last 57 years. Among the objectives …

The Continued Collapse Of The Nation's Teen Job Market And The Dismal Outlook For The 2008 Summer Labor Market For Teens : Does Anybody Care?, Andrew Sum, Joseph Mclaughlin, Ishwar Khatiwada

Deteriorating teen employment rates during a growing national labor market is unprecedented. Declines in teen employment rates over the past seven years (2000-2007) have been widespread across age, gender, race-ethnic, educational attainment, household income, and geographic subgroups.

The Projected Summer 2007 Teen Job Outlook For The Nation's Teens And The Case For A Federally-Funded Summer Jobs Creation Program, Andrew Sum, Robert Taggart, Joseph Mclaughlin

Andrew Sum

Following the end of the 1990s national labor market boom in early 2001, the labor market for the teens of the nation deteriorated considerably over the next four years. Employment opportunities fell far more sharply for teens than for any other age group, and they have not improved to any substantive degree over the past three years (2004-2006) despite renewed wage and salary job growth across the country. The overall teen employment rate (36.6%) in the past three years (2004-2006) was the lowest in the past 60 years.

We will supplement findings …

National Teen Summer Employment Rate Drops To New Low, Summer 2007 Lowest June-July Employment Rate For Teens In Post-World War Ii History, Black And Low Income Teens Face Bleakest Job Prospects, Andrew Sum, Joseph Mclaughlin

Andrew Sum

The labor market for the teens of the nation weakened considerably during the first six months of this year despite continued employment growth for older working age adults. The seasonally adjusted teen employment rate during the January-June period of 2007 was nearly two full percentage points below its value during the same six month period in 2006. Based on the weakening job prospects for teens, earlier this year, the Center for Labor Market Studies of Northeastern University projected that the summer job market (June-August) for the teens of the nation would likely be tied for the post-World War II historical …
