It is due to the 2008 recession that youth employement has significantly gone down becuase so many teens were laid off. In the United States alone youth unemplyment as of right now is around 11 percent. This is expressed mainly thrioguh Bernie Sanders a democratic Socalist who is viving for the presedncy. He sated how in the United sates " Youth unemployment realisitically is 11%, but when you add into diffrent races, whites is 26%, Latino's 36%. and African Americans 55%".
