Generation Jobless: Young Men Suffer Worst in Weak Job Market

``The unemployment rate for males between 25 and 34 years old with high-school diplomas is 14.4%--up from 6.1% before the downturn four years ago and far above today's 9% national rate. The picture is even more bleak for slightly younger men: 22.4% for high-school graduates 20 to 24 years old. That's up from 10.4% four years ago.''
