Obama's Change: Jobless Teens

The Greenwood Commonwealth says in a recent editorial:
Here’s an item of interest for any adult who worked as a teenager, or for any teenager who’s trying to find a part-time job: The Associated Press is reporting that $1.2 billion in stimulus money spent to help teens find jobs this summer failed miserably.
We should say so. As we blogged earlier this month:
The teenage unemployment rate is at 25.5 percent, its highest level since the Bureau of Labor Statistics began tracking the data in 1948.
Unemployment. Yes we can.
