In today’s rundown: The recession has hurt single women more than anyone else. And could high youth unemployment lead to a lost generation?
— Unmarried women have been hurt by the recession more than single men or married couples, according to a new study out today. WAMU spoke to the Center for American Progress about the report, which shows that 61 percent of unemployed women are not married. Among employed women, those who are single make an average of 12 percent less than married women.
— Youth unemployment worldwide has hit a record high and is likely to get worse. The International Labor Organization says the world is at risk of having a “lost generation” of workers who have dropped out of the job market.
