About this audiobook
The jobs report for June 2013 found that among teens alone, the jobless rate was almost 25 percent — more than three times the rate for the nation as a whole. Economics correspondent Paul Solman talks to young people struggling in their search for work in his report on the bleak job picture for inner-city youth.
