Worst Cities to Be Young

Worst Cities to ...

America’s young adults are staring down record unemployment and diminished career prospects. The Daily Beast crunched the numbers to find the cities where unemployment and debt are the highest.

To figure out where young adults have had it the worst, The Daily Beast combed the stats on unemployment, marriage, and education to see which cities had the greatest positive change between 2008 and 2010, according to the U.S. Census. The cities on their list of the worst for young people have had the greatest rise in an educated, unemployed, and single young adult population. Average consumer debt, not available broken down by age, was considered based on data from Experian by metro area. Each metric was weighted equally, along with the current level of unemployment for the population between 20 and 24 years old.
