Young Adult Employment

The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics released a report on young adult employment. This report indicates that young adults' employment varies by education. Highlights from the study reveal that at age 25, people with more education were more likely to be employed than people with less education. Among people who had completed a bachelor's degree or more education and were no longer enrolled in school, 91 percent were employed in civilian jobs during the October when they were age 25, in comparison to the 60 percent of high school dropouts who were employed in civilian jobs during the October when they were age 25.
