"A study by the International Labor Organization has shed light on a problem Arizona students may already be familiar with — youth unemployment.According to the ILO, a research arm of the United Nations, the global youth unemployment rate increased from 11.9 percent in 2007 to 13 percent in 2009. The ILO estimated that 81 million of the world’s 620 economically active youths ages 15 to 24 could not find a job." (Quoted from article)
