7. 3. The information is irrelevant to the topic of teen employment
3. The information is irrelevant to the topic of teen employment. It cites the extreme swings in business cycles inherent in capitalism as a reason for programs such as unemployment insurance, but it does not connect specifically to teen employment.
The author cites statistics compiled by the Bureaus of Labor Statistics showing the highest unemployment rates since the bureau began keeping records in the late 1940s. These data make the point that the problem being discussed is extreme.
The author claims in a general way that the economy benefits from the skills teen acquire in part-time jobs. This claim would be better supported with additional evidence in the form of statistics on the number of businesses suffering from the lack of qualified candidates or with specific examples of skills teens acquire that help their professional development.
