Description: Todayâ�?�?s youth face the highest unemployment rate in history and itâ�?�?s no exception in Brockton, Massachusettesâ�?¦ where these future workers are feeling that pinch. As soon as the city began to experience job losses, officials noted a flow of violence become more apparent. To counteract the violence, city leaders organized volunteers to ask local employers to hire students for summer jobs. Within six hoursâ�?¦ the group secured 165 jobs, including 15 for the Brockton Rox baseball team. According to the Center for Labor Market Studies of Northeastern University, they say that teen employment will not rise above 34%. Adding that in 61 yearsâ�?¦ this is considered to be the worst jobless rate for teens. Policymakers continue to believe that summer work dampens crime. Larry Frankâ�?¦ deputy to LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa says that, â�?�?Nothing stops a bullet like a job.â�?
