There was a big number of unemployment among black teenagers, because discrimination was still a significant factor. The unemployment rate for black people who had attended college, was 27.2% and those who had graduated from high school was 23.6%. It was higher than the unemployment rate for white high school dropouts, which was 22.3%. It was obvious that the black students were being discriminated, because the white students that didn’t t even finished high school were getting more jobs opportunities than blacks. With the Affirmative Action program there was a dramatic increase in college attendance among blacks, yet there was still an astounding amount of unemployed blacks.
In “Generation R”, Peck writes in a situation about the thought of new generation. Some instances show that young adults are not ready to face their independent lives. Jean Twenge, an associate professor of psychology, is found that young people who graduated from high school dislike the idea of work for work’s sake, and expect jobs and career to be tailored to their interests and lifestyle. They also have very high material expectations, and believe financial success is extremely important. Twenge says, “There’s this idea that, ‘Yeah, I don’t want to work, but I’m still going to get all the stuff I want” (Peck 303).
In other words, the contemporary pressure for money influences many lower-income students to enter college with inadequate funds, which ultimately forces them to drop out of college. Meanwhile, many universities struggle with a sufficient response to this alarming collegiate quandary. While Leonhardt fails to accurately represent certain points, his argument is certainly effective at explaining the relationship between education and socioeconomic class that contributes to the alarming rate of college dropouts. In his writing, "The College Dropout Boom," Leonhardt informs his readers that the probability for lower-income students to drop out of college is
Same Tuition’s Problem The issue of higher education and immigration has been debated for more than a decade. American educational system is falling to a record low level for its unprecedented low academic standard, high dropout rate, and huge economic burden (Walsh 1). The state should require illegal immigrants to pay higher tuition should they decide to participate in public higher education, because illegal immigrants drain resources; affect the quality of public educations; and take away legal residents’ rights. In doing so, the overall public education system may head to a right direction. Illegal aliens have strained our education budget (Walsh 1).
They are always raising college tuition to help pay for different programs but, it seems that they are not focusing on the programs for the diverse students that are here in the United States. A part of this solution we should be helping the low – income performing schools and encourage parents involvement. Parents need to
Bearing in mind that this is the 21st century, there is nothing as important as education. The educational requirements in any field of employment require that a person’s level of education be rather high. Therefore, it is important that all the people in my community access high levels of education so that they can be able to cope with the changing world and in turn, cause my community to experience sustainable development. I have observed that youths from minority groups largely drop out of school before graduation and this has led to low graduation rates in our school districts. The low graduation rate is not good for my community because it will lead to increase in the degree of unemployment and this may trigger the rate of crime.
The organization wants to implement the new program been its main purpose to give high school dropouts the necessary skills to be able to attain better employment opportunities. It is obvious to everyone that the crime rate among High school dropouts it is much higher in the United States. This special population practicable is very likely to receive public assistance and become parents than those who complete high school. The cost to the citizens for these crime and welfare recipients is very high close to $200 billion annually. High school dropouts do not realize that they will earn a lower salary that a high school graduate and a much lower than a college graduate.
And with the economic conditions threatening jobs security across the country, parents and prospective students alike are questioned whether they can afford colleges or not. People complain that schools are charging more and giving less. Colleges and universities have been struggling to survive serious funding cutbacks by raising tuition.

English 043 Professor Doreen Kiefer 12/15/13 “The Growing Need of Raising Minimum Wage” Have you ever wonder how many desperate unemployed American citizens there are in the United States seeking for jobs? Well there’re more than eleven million unemployed citizens desperately trying to make a living in this terrible recession. Not only is it affecting our economy but our businesses, and families as well. Even before the recession, our economy was rapidly shifting, with fewer and fewer middle class jobs and opportunities, with fewer and fewer middle class families, which has led to a low growing, low-wage workforce. As of the end of 2011, the United States needed to create roughly 10 million jobs to return to the pre-recession unemployment
This would be considered employee discrimination because the employee will not work along with the students in the metro areas. Metro areas can be changed if more of the people that lived that district had received there high school diploma. This is because they would be receiving higher wages through legitimate work thus increasing the cost of crime to the people that
