Persuasive Essay On Unemployed Young People

Although large numbers of unemployed young people is a problem in many other countries, I think the situation is especially bad in the United States. The unemployment among the today’s youths of United States has risen “by 2.1 million to 20.3 million from April to July 2015” (USDL). Indeed, I think the numbers published by the U.S Department of Labor (USDL) are shocking and the fact that they are skyscraping makes it distressing. Especially, when we consider that between April and July large numbers of high school and college students search for summer jobs, and many graduates will start their job hunt, yet not all youths get accepted for a job.

On the other hand, for those already jobless and experiencing depression symptoms because of the situation, career development is important for eradicating the loss of hope and joy. However, not all unemployed young people have access to career guidance because of being unaware of such services or not having the money for the service fees. Thus, the federal and state governments need to provide easily accessible institutions for the unemployed young adults. For example, job centers, one-stop career centers or providing free career counselors at free town-libraries. Unfortunately, it is not guaranteed that all the unemployed young adults will attend the career-guidance sessions since the government cannot force them to.
