Nowadays, the US labor market is characterized by the persistence of high youth unemployment. During the Great Recession, which in the United States covered the period 2007–2009, the unemployment rate rose to a peak of more than 25% for 16- to 19-year-olds and over 15% for 20- to 24-year-olds. Over the following decade, it remained significantly high – even if the overall unemployment rate dropped to the ‘natural level’ (about 5%).

Abstract
Nowadays, the US labor market is characterized by the persistence of high youth unemployment. During the Great Recession, which in the United States covered the period 2007–2009, the unemployment rate rose to a peak of more than 25% for 16- to 19-year-olds and over 15% for 20- to 24-year-olds. Over the following decade, it remained significantly high – even if the overall unemployment rate dropped to the ‘natural level’ (about 5%).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
