$1.2 billion for summer jobs

http://money.cnn.com/2009/05/27/news/economy/stimulus_summer_jobs/index.htm?postversion=2009052712

This article is about how the employment for youth is expected to be the lowest since the year 1948. What the government is doing to keep from this happening is that they are issueing a stimulus plan of $1.2 billion that will be utilized for job training. This stimulus is for youth that were either dropouts in high school or disabled and will be paid at least minimum wage. Summer Youth Emploment has been falling and retirees would usually vie for jobs that were required for teen youths to have. The reason for me choosing this article is because it caught my eye because it was about youth that I actually know beause many that I encounter are unemployed and some are even dropouts. I do feel that this article has presented this information fairly. This article can't be argued because each year more and more of the youth are unemployed. I would recommend that this ource be used again.

  1. Jeff, Nice job, although your summary was only of the top half of the article. Also, do you agree that the government is doing the right thing to help unemployed teens?
