Youth not in School or Working

County: Marathon
Measurement Period: 2018-2022
This indicator shows the percentage of youth, aged 16 to 19, who are not enrolled in school and not working.
 
Numerator = Total estimate of youth aged 16-19 who are not enrolled in school and are unemployed or not in labor force
Denominator = Total estimate of population aged 16-19

Why is this important?

Youth who are not in school and are not employed face both short- and long-term barriers to career success. Young people who lack financial stability may be forced to postpone major life decisions such as purchasing a home or starting a family. Prolonged unemployment increases the likelihood that individuals will earn lower wages or face more periods of unemployment throughout their lives. Economic prospects for youth can be improved by increasing high school graduation rates, increasing access to post-secondary education, and providing career counseling services to students as well as youth who have either completed or dropped out of school.

Trend
Technical note: The U.S. Census Bureau calculates 90% confidence intervals for American Community Survey estimates. Use caution when interpreting values with wide confidence intervals. Confidence intervals that are farther away from estimates in either direction indicate uncertainty due to small survey sample sizes. The U.S. Census Bureau does not recommend comparing overlapping 5-year periods since much of the data in each estimate are the same. Use caution when comparing estimates for census tracts over time as these geographies are redefined with each decennial census according to population changes.
