In order for more youth to be hired here in the U.S. 4 million jobs would have to be created to be considered on the same level with some of the other wealthy economies around the world. On top of the Youth not being able to find a job, they are also dealing with high student loan debt that has to be paid sooner or later. So because of that debt weight on most youths shoulders they are forced to get jobs that they are way over qualified for and end up making minimum wage to barely get by. Things have to change in this country concerning youth employment fast because studies are already showing that because of the rise in youth unemployment youth crime is beginning to rise.
