Businessman Looking at 'Help Wanted' Sign that appears as a Giant Hurdle Before him
Because of America's broken unemployment insurance system, the way firings are handled might affect whether young guys can get hired in the first place.

America's young men aren't working. Well, a smaller share of them are working, anyway. As of April, about 86% of prime-age men — meaning those between 25 and 54 — were employed, a significant drop from the 1950s and 1960s, when that number was often closer to 95%. And 52% of men 16 to 24 were working, compared with well above 60% decades ago.
