Page 2-A Summer Jobs For Youth By Raymond J. Donovan *' Secretary of Labor In many ways, a person’s first job is the most important one he or she will ever have. It’s that first job that starts a young man or woman on the rtoad to a full and rewarding career in the work force. Ibe first job is an important learning experience, where young people develop self discipline, productive work habits, self-worth and in terpersonal skills that can on ly be acquired in the work place. A person’s first job also pro vides that seemingly magic phrase for resumes and ap plications: prior work experience. Unfortunately, the economic reality of today often stands in the way of teenagers finding such entry level jobs. Statistics tell a grim story: Youth unemploy ment today stands at 22 per cent. For black teenagers, it is a staggering 45 per cent! Employers in today’s economy must be conscious of costs; marginal jobs are something they can cut when they are seen as costing more than they are worth. So to day’s teenagers without job skills cannot compete for jobs requiring payment of the minimum wage. President Reagan has pro posed to Congress a plan for a summertime youth oppor tunity wage to provide unemployed teenagers with some work experience at a cost employers can afford. Under the proposal, employers would be allowed to pay those under age 22, 75 per cent of the current minimum wage, or $2.50 per hour, during the period May 1 to September 30. The youth opportunity wage would act as an incentive to encourage employers to add new jobs in the summer, relieving the yearly problem caused by the flood of youths in the labor market seeking jobs when schools close. It will create an estimated 200,000 to 600,000 jobs for teens, and provide them with •« chance to adjust to the Realities of different kinds of a 0 ** Some critics have charged that the plan would encourage employers to substitute teenager labor for adult labor. But the facts do not bear these charges out, especially in a - FOR SALE 1975 Datsun Long-bed Pick-up 4 Speed with 39,000 miles ’ Good Condition $2,500 Call: 221-8325 after 6:00 P.M.

For instance, the Heritage Foundation contends that the jobs created by a summer youth opportunity wage “would be entry-level posi tions that would be more suited toward the youth labor market than to older workers.” The Heritage Foundation also says that employers would be unlikely to substitute teens for older workers because of the high costs associated with employee turnover. In addition, noted economist Walter E. Williams finds that, “for the most part, teenagers hired at the sub minimum rate would fill new jobs or old jobs that world be reinstated.

Cale of Winter Park, a retired economist who served with the U.Si State Department in Latil America, died Tuesdajg The son of the late Rev. & Mrs. W. F. Cale Sr., of Chowan County N.C., Cale was a specialist in interna tional finance and in com modities advising the State Department, The United Na tions and foreign countries on their economic and agricultural policies. After conducting research on commodities for the Brook ing Institution, Cale taught at Tulane University in New Orleans and the University of Virginia until the State Department asked him to become a consultant and liaison to international trade conferences. He was elected chairman of the Inter-American Coffee Board, an organization of coffee-growing nations, and served for seven years in the 1940 s and 19505. In 1956, the State Depart ment sent him to Buenos Aires to be economic counselor to Argentina. A few years later he was assigned to the embassy in Mexico where he was ample, and hotels might decide to keep their corridors and windows cleaner.” To those critics of the pro posal who have offered no solutions of their own to teenage unemployment, I simply ask, are your teenage sons and daughters better off with a job that pays $2.50 an hour or no job that pays $3.35? Are they better off wasting their time unemployed or gaining job skills in attemp ting to become productive members of society? The President’s new pro posal is a step in the right direction to allow teenagers to gain a job toe-hold in today’s American economy. The pro posal is an investment in human capital, which will benefit all of us in the future. minister counselor, second to the ambassador. In 1966, Cale retired from the Foreign Service and taught a year at the Universi ty of Oregon. He later did research for the United Nations’ Food and Agricultural Organization in Rome.
