No. The number I reported was actually those young folks who are looking for work, not the ones not willing to work. Same for the other classes of workers I mentioned.

How can you discern the difference between the 2 all the figures would show is those registered looking for jobs.

Many youngsters go through the process of interviews etc but have no intention of taking a job many ruin the interview or do not accept the job giving phony reasons.

In Britain you have to prove you are looking for a job to get benefit - I would assume it is the same in the US.

Many youngsters go into the job centre daily have to sign on once a week at a certain time and show evidence of trying for work and then spend the rest of the day hanging out with their mates.

I would suspect of the percentage you quote there is a far number that are similar to this.

Unfortunately the few give the rest a bad name but it still does not alter the fact that often to get youngsters to work from 16 - 20 it is a struggle for parents.
