In a growing competitive workforce more of these types programs are needed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government could be tackling this issue more directly by offering more viable and technical job skills at a high school level,\u201d said Education Specialist for San Francisco Unified School District Stephen Jackson. \u201c(Youth) need valuable skills that can be applied immediately in a wide variety of ways when entering the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The June 2013 Millennial Job report data released by Generation Opportunity, a non-partisan youth advocacy organization, shows an increase from 11.1 percent in April 2013 to 11.6 percent in May 2013 in unemployment among youth ages 18\u201329.<\/p>\n<p>Given the precarious job situation, a growing number of young Americans are finding themselves unable to pay their student loans. \u201cI would like to be able to go back to school so I can get a job that will make paying off my pre-existing student loans possible,\u201d said San Francisco State Graduate Jen Simon. \u201cIt feels like I\u2019m not even making a dent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cboomerang\u201d effect delays young people\u2019s ability to put money back into their communities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe healthier a community is economically, the more jobs that will become available,\u201d said Tulier. \u201cThe more people working in a community, the more that community will be able to flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While unemployment among youth remains high with a staggering 16.1 percent of young Americans out of work, advocates call for more youth programs and community involvement to tackle the issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[2465,2467],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-21406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-mission-beacon","tag-youth-unemployment","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
