CNN In-Depth: America's Job Hunt
CNN today kicked off a week-long series of special reports analyzing the state of employment in America. Details from CNN below.
CNN Press Release: CNN kicks off its weekly “In-Depth” series Monday, May 16 with special cross-platform programming targeting the No.1 concern for many Americans—Jobs. “America’s Job Hunt” is a week-long effort investigating the state of the employment climate, said to be the worst since the Great Depression.
Featuring the unparalleled newsgathering of CNN, TIME and CNNMoney, “America’s Job Hunt” offers comprehensive analysis and reporting on where the jobs are in America and tips on how Americans can get employed—and stay that way.
Programming begins on Monday with CNN’s American Morning, hosted by Ali Velshi, Christine Romans and Kiran Chetry. It then continues on CNN Newsroom, hosted by Suzanne Malveaux and Brooke Baldwin. Further investigative pieces, interactive data, and online video will appear on TIME.com and CNNMoney.com/jobs.
"For all the momentous world events of recent months, the number one concern of most Americans remains getting or keeping a job." says Mark Whitaker, executive vice president and managing editor for CNN Worldwide. “‘America’s Job Hunt’ will examine the human and economic toll of the most prolonged unemployment crisis of recent times, debate its causes, but also highlight industries and regions where the hiring picture is beginning to brighten. This is the latest in CNN's new weekly "In-Depth" series across all our television and digital platforms, and we are particularly excited this week to be partnering with TIME in examining this crucial and complicated issue."

Yes, America has obviously been in an employment slump. However, I do not believe that the situation is as dire a the great depression. Remembering our lessons from the past,we do have resources that were not available to us in years past. I do agree the movement must go forward to insure growth. Having recruiters to our young graduates is one possibility, along with listings of information about available possitions in one location for a more accesable forum could make all the difference toward a healthier bottom line. Thank you, S.
Nicely been pin pointed the bad situation being in America, last few years were really upset because of the improper state conditions. Now the problem has been observed so that many firms plays a vital role in the employment across the country as being here a good firm offers Automotive jobs and Automotive Mechanic all over the country just for mechanics.
I question the significance of including sixteen and seventeen year olds in the unemployment numbers. Obviously and logically by adding those two age groups definitely “ups” the unemployment numbers. That does not accurately reflect the unemployment numbers for younger persons.
Fifty years ago, maybe even forty years ago, sixteen and seventeen year old unemployment numbers might have been useful or significant. During the 50’s and 60’s (and earlier) those two age groups generally were working part time or full time or looking for some kind of a job out of necessity. At the age of 15 and 16 I worked full time and went to school part time as did most of my friends during the early 60’s.
Today, how many sixteen year old persons do you know that is full time employed or looking for same?
