particularly good news for the economy -- it's driven mostly by nearly 400,
000 people dropping out of the labor force, rather than more people finding
jobs.
But those dropping out aren't so much the discouraged 30-, 40- or 50-year
olds. In fact, the Labor Department said there was a modest decline in the
overall number of discouraged job seekers.
The drop is because so many young adults, aged 16 to 24, are no longer
looking for work.

There were 453,000 fewer young adults with jobs in August than in July. But
despite that plunge, only 27,000 more young people were looking for new
jobs. Most apparently stopped looking and left the labor force. And those
numbers take into account seasonal factors such as younger workers returning
to school.
As a result, the percentage of young people who are counted in the labor
force fell to its lowest level since 1955.
The unemployment rate for young adults rose to 16.8% from 16.4% in July.
"I don't think they're more lazy. It's that there are less opportunities for
them," said Heidi Shierholz, labor economist, at the Economic Policy
Institute, a liberal think tank. "They have it rough." | k********8
