It’s #JobsForYouth Action Week, and CLASP has been busy highlighting many proven strategies like subsidized jobs for getting young people—and many others—into jobs that can lead to economic security. Yesterday, Olivia Golden and CLASP Board member David Hansell published an op-ed in The Hill describing subsidized employment’s proven track record of rapidly getting young people back to work. Duy Pham participated in a Capitol Hill press conference on Tuesday about legislation to create living-wage employment opportunities for young people facing barriers to employment. And Kisha Bird and our partners at New America just published a new brief, Building Back Better: A National Plan for Youth Employment.
