VOANews: "Stimulus" Jobs Offer Skills, Paycheck to Disadvantaged Youth
The new U.S. federal program meant to stimulate the economy will spend more than $785 billion on education, infrastructure, the environment, and other things. President Obama says the programs will save or create millions of jobs. A tiny fraction of the money will pay for jobs for impoverished teens and young people around the nation. VOA's Carolyn Weaver reports, one such program in suburban New Jersey is giving some youths their first taste of the work world.
