(CNSNews.com) – A new analysis by the Employment Policy Institute (EPI) shows that unemployment among teens without a high school diploma is more than 50 percent in two of the largest U.S. cities.
Using U.S. Census Bureau data from May 2013 to April 2014, the analysis reveals that in Riverside-San Bernardino area of Southern California, the unemployment rate for teens ages 16 to 19 years old who don’t have a high school diploma is 54.2 percent.
In the Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, Ore., metropolitan area, the unemployment rate from that population is 53.8 percent.
“These numbers are staggering,” Michael Saltsman, director of research at EPI told CNSNews.com. “Teens across the country this summer are missing out on valuable work experience as they continue to suffer through an extended period of high unemployment and difficult job prospects.”

So what lives in these major U.S. Cities? Not hard to figure out, remember the infamous 47% number?
No poop... All of the illegals have the typical jobs a teen would have. Then we have the Liberals fighting to have the salaries raised to $15/ hr so they can survive. To Hell with that, send them back across the border and let the teens have the jobs at minimum wage... Duh....
But you can bet that 99% of them are talking and texting.
