Young Adults and Low-Wage Jobs

Dr. Clatch writes about the struggles young adults face as they search for employment.

Jobs that are currently available for young adults are typically in the service and retail sectors. Though these jobs claim to offer advancement opportunities, they often do not provide high salaries or benefits. Finding full-time work can be a struggle, as well, as many of these employers are only hiring for part-time. Even young adults with college degrees are turning to low-paying jobs in order to make ends meet. Families adjusting to this reality may need to acknowledge that young adults with jobs may face difficulties in paying their bills and living a financially independent life.
