Average Teen Unemployment Rate in D.C. is 50.1%, Analysis Shows
An analysis based on U.S. Census Bureau data by the Employment Policies Institute (EPI) shows that the average unemployment rate for teens ages 16 to 19 in the District of Columbia was 50.1 percent as of June 2011. This corresponds with data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showing that for D.C. the annual average unemployment rate for teens in 2010 was 49.8 percent.
Michael Saltsman, research fellow at EPI, provided the 50.1 percent figure to CNSNews.com as an update of an analysis he compiled based on the Census Bureau�s Current Population Survey.
The 50.1 percent figure is almost double the average teen unemployment rate in June 2007 in the District, when it was 26.2 percent, according to Saltsman.
Since 2007, the rate has increased each year: 29.5 percent in June 2008, 44.7 percent in 2009 and 48.8 percent in 2010, based on EPI�s analysis.
�We�re in the midst of the third summer in a row where teen unemployment has been above 20 percent,� Saltsman said when he announced his report on July 8.
Just wonderful -- some data on other states:
Saltsman�s analysis, which was released on July 8, ranked the 20 states with the highest average teen unemployment through May 2011: the first column shows the actual teen unemployment rate over the teen labor force; the second column reflects the number of discouraged teen workers added to the unemployment rate (also compiled from Census Bureau data).
- District of Columbia � 49.0 percent, 52.2 percent
- California � 34.6 percent, 36.2 percent
- Georgia � 34.6 percent, 35.7 percent
- Nevada � 34.3 percent, 36.4 percent
- Washington � 33.2 percent, 34.2 percent
Ties in to crime rate, disintegration of the American Family unit and drug use. If Obama was trying to destroy America, he is doing a fantastic job.
