Teen employment in Massachusetts has plunged to its lowest level in 45 years as adults looking for any kind of work in a spotty recovery crowd young adults from the job market, according to a new report released Thursday.
Just 27 percent of teens held jobs last year, half the rate of decade ago when 54 percent found work, according to the report by the Youth Jobs Coalition, which represents more than 20 nonprofits that work with teens. That’s the lowest rate of employment for 16- to 19-year-olds in Massachusetts since 1968, when the Census Bureau began collecting such data.

Voters are very stupid to go to the polls and continue accepting the below par performance of Obama's government. The Boston Globe, continues to praise this Obama government with little analysis of unemployment numbers, housing or the job crisis.
On the other hand, a reader has to read the NY times to find out that the Obama administration is continuing with financial bail-outs which we know absolutely nothing about because the Globe fails to report it.
I am not shedding any tears over the demise of the Globe because it fails to provide fair & balanced reporting of the news. This is a one party state which will continue to exist in the political clouds of corruption as long as the people fail to have accurate news, unbiased news, just give us the facts.
