ABC News: White House \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcCan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Wait\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 To Help Young People Get Summer Jobs<\/a>

\nPresident Obama will continue his campaign to bypass Congressional opposition to his jobs agenda Thursday by announcing a new partnership aimed at helping a quarter of a million young people find summer jobs.<\/p>\n

The initiative, part of Obama\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We Can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Wait\u00e2\u20ac\u009d campaign, is intended to replace a youth jobs fund that would have been enacted had Congress passed the president\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s $447 billion jobs bill.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s young people face record unemployment, and we need to do everything we can to make sure they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve got the opportunity to earn the skills and a work ethic that come with a job. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s important for their future, and for America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why I proposed a summer jobs program for youth in the American Jobs Act \u00e2\u20ac\u201d a plan that Congress failed to pass. America\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s youth can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t wait for Congress to act. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Obama said in a written statement.<\/p>\n

The new partnership between the federal government and the private sector commits to creating nearly 180,000 employment opportunities for low-income youth in the summer of 2012, with a goal of reaching 250,000 employment opportunities by the start of summer.<\/p>\n

Republicans have pushed back against the announcement.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Everyone agrees internships are a helpful tool for youth, particularly in this economy. Yet rather than taking credit for programs that companies already had in place, a more constructive use of the White House\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time would be calling on Democratic leaders to act on the dozens of House-passed jobs bills still sitting idle in Democratic-run Senate,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
