The problem: During the 1990s, employment rates for less-educated young women rose significantly. Less-educated young men, however, had an employment rate remained stagnant during the decade, failing to return to higher rates of prior years. Their continued high unemployment rates and inability to achieve prior employment peaks, even after many years of a strong economy, are causes of concern and the topic of this study. The study focus is on the employment situation of young men (ages 18 to 24) who either lack a high school diploma or who have no education beyond a high school diploma. In short, the situation was found to be bad and getting worse. Spatial shifts in where employment can be found on the local level have isolated this vulnerable population while the low-end jobs that can be found pay less. Several recommendations are given within the conclusion of the report.
