Youth Indicators 1996 / Indicator 68, Chart 1

Indicator 68. Employment of Dropouts

Employment status of 16- to 24-year-olds who dropped out of school between October 1993 and October 1994

SOURCE: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Employment of School-Age Youth, Graduates, and Dropouts.

The job outlook for high school dropouts is generally dismal. In October of 1994, slightly more than two out of five dropouts during the previous 12 months were employed. Some of those not working were looking for jobs, but a large majority of them were not looking for work.
