Steady Employment Still Elusive for Young Adults
Dr. Clatch writes about the difficulties both parents and young adult children are facing with today's tough job market.
For parents providing support for young adults, the challenges ahead are quite daunting. Adult children face considerable obstacles in securing high paying jobs, even with a college degree. Parents must not only contend with these realities for their children, but must also accept the implications that the recession has had for their careers, prospects and savings.
Parents providing support for adult children should keep in mind that even though unemployment has declined, statistics from the Census Bureau indicate that the number of jobs for young adults continues to lag behind those for older workers. With fewer jobs, young adult children living at home may be unemployed for long periods of time. Parents may need to adjust family budgets in order to cope with this reality.
