U.S. Dept. of Labor Summer Jobs+

“America’s young people face record unemployment, and we need to do everything we can to make sure they’ve got the opportunity to earn the skills and a work ethic that come with a job. It’s important for their future, and for America ‘s. That’s why I proposed a summer jobs program for youth in the American Jobs Act — a plan that Congress failed to pass. America ‘s youth can’t wait for Congress to act. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. That’s why today, we’re launching Summer Jobs+, a joint initiative that challenges business leaders and communities to join my Administration in providing hundreds of thousands of summer jobs for America ‘s youth”

— President Barack Obama
