We'll find out during the day. Special edition of CityLab devoted the team viewpoint. I'm Dan Henry. And I'm Jackie Hall. Our studio audience is made up entirely of young people from Baltimore area schools. City Line wants to talk directly to them about a variety of subjects, ranging from violence in the schools to premarital sex, to drugs, and to music videos. We want to offer young people a chance to express their views on issues that concern them. Dealing with the problem of black teenage unemployment. I'm on to you and I'll have a full report. My name is Tim Watts. And today on the entertainment page, it's Stacie Ladislaw and Planning Patrol. And there's good news for fans of Nat King Cole and Al Jarreau. Coming up is our two way conversation with area teen and Teen Viewpoint. Next on City Line. Oh, yeah. You know, you could join in our conversation today with area teens by calling us at 41, 13, 13. We're laugh and we're ready to take your phone calls right now. Indeed. And we'd like to talk to you. And obviously, as we said early on, we're talking to teens today. And you know that unemployment among black teenagers is of epidemic proportions. And recently, Ti Montero took the news cab cameras to area schools to talk to teenagers about the problem. The problem of youth unemployment is not unique to America, but one that is experienced throughout most of the industrialized world. The problem of black teenage unemployment is nothing less than devastating. Black teens have experienced an unemployment level hovering around the 40% mark for nearly a decade. What that means is that one out of every two black American teenagers at some point during his teen years will more than likely be unemployed.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=65.62,202.26"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"The teen years of one's life can be a highly productive time for most young adults working full time or part time during the summer or after school does much to enhance one sense of self-sufficiency. Having a job allows the teenager the opportunity to assume a greater degree of responsibility and meeting their own needs. We spoke to a number of students at Forest Park High School, and again and again the sentiments were expressed. Those who had had a job recently or during the summer felt better about themselves overall because they were able to help out around the house and keep spending change in their pockets. Those who had not had a job recently or during the summer months said they felt bad about that because of parent dependency. Having to ask their parents for every piece of spending change they would need to meet their wants. Students felt they were at the point in their lives where they should be giving something back to their homes instead of still taking. I felt kind of bad and have that I had to rely on my parents for money. I felt real bad because I feel that I'm old enough to at least try and attempt to make out on my own and stop depending on my parents so much. I'm at ease now and that I need to do is possibly on my own vs you know what I want. According to the January issue of Black Enterprise magazine, black teenagers have started each recession at a higher level of unemployment than the last. They started the 1969 1970 recession at 24.7% unemployed. The 1973 1975 recession with 31% unemployed. And the latest recession. 1981 to 1982 with 40.9% unemployed. Teenage unemployment remained at a critical level last year.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=204.18,308.16"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"By October 1983. Black male teenagers ages 18 to 19 had an unemployment rate of 42.7%. The rate for similar white teenagers was 18.3%. What do Freddie and Fannie says? There are those who would argue the unemployment situation is improving for black Americans, citing statistics that show an overall improvement in the economy and a slowing of the national jobless rate. But national figures do little to pinpoint the severity of the unemployment situation among black Americans and black teens in particular. It's a severe situation that, according to Ben Whitten, director of the Baltimore Urban League, has reached epidemic proportions. It has been an epidemic in crisis proportions for a number of years now. And the tragedy is that it is growing worse. And I don't see anything happening that will reverse that trend any time soon. Whatever is being proposed in the way of job training and whatever is available now clearly is inadequate to address the problems that are at the magnitude that our problems have reached today, so that there is nothing that addresses the in the proportion of the problem, the the crisis that black youth face in order to get a clearer picture of just how serious the unemployment situation is here in Baltimore among black youth. We conducted a city line job survey of five area schools and their students. The schools surveyed were Forest Park High School, Dunbar, Edmondson, Lake Clifton and Walbrook Senior High. This is what we found Out of 2864 students surveyed, only 957 had some kind of job last summer. Over 1743 wanted to work but could not find employment, though not discouraged. Most of those students expect to find some sort of job this coming summer. That is optimism at its best. And out of the nearly 3000 students surveyed by City Line, only 350 are currently working.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=308.73,437.37"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I felt good because I could help my mother pay bills and I felt great.

It made me feel very good because then I could help myself out buying school clothes and I had have to depend on. My mother would give me money when I need it. I had to change my pocket every once in a while. Made me feel real nice. Dealing with the issue of work. Does it make a difference whether or not a young person is employed during the teen years? Does having a job or not having a job have any impact on the development of the young? The person in later adult life. That question was posed to Dr. Patricia Newton, chief of psychiatry at Provident Hospital. Being with that employment, learning about the issue of work as an adolescent makes it very difficult to assume an adult role responsibility for work in the marketplace so that the issue of work as it relates to capital in a capitalistic country is that it gives you a level of responsibility, a sense of freedom in terms of decisions or incapacity to make choices, because you do have the flexibility. And thirdly, a positive self-image in that you are doing something meaningful and productive. One Duke University economist even goes as far as to suggest that unemployment among young black men in America has gotten so bad that approximately one fourth of all income earned by 15 to 24 year olds comes from crime. If that figure is anywhere near accurate, then that too, is a staggering statistic.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=438.24,535.34"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I don't have the statistics, so I can't question whether his statistics were both based on very sound data or not. But certainly I think logic dictates that adolescents get bored and if they don't have something meaningful and productive, that they may be more likely to get into trouble. When you compound that on top of a society where money is the object, then it seems likely and logical that many youth may decide they're getting money. Regardless of how you get it is more important than anything else. Dr. Wooden, would you say then, sir, that we are failing our black youth? Yes, we are. Society is failing them. We're giving them a rather than the donut. They are saying the whole. And that's unfortunate. And it's almost like the commercial we're going to have to pay now or we're going to have to pay later. And we're paying now for part of what is happening with unemployment in homes without fathers and then the massive black prison population, which is a disgrace because clearly I believe that's linked to unemployment. Most economists and specialists agree the problem of black teenage unemployment has reached epidemic proportions. It's a serious problem and one that demands immediate attention for cityline. I'm Tim Montero reporting. A very good report by my team. I'd like to first of all, thank all of the schools who participated in this survey. A lot of work went into getting those numbers together. I think it gives us a pretty accurate indication as to exactly what is on the minds of a lot of kids in school. We've got a lot of kids here. And I'd like to ask, first of all, what's your response to the problem of a black teenage unemployment? Yes, ma'am. I think that if we were employed now that it would be passed to work later on in our lives as we grow up.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=536.54,650.62"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"If you're employed now, you think you'd have a better opportunity to learn about the world of work?

Yes, go ahead. Yes, I feel that since I'm a working person myself and it gives you a positive attitude when you when you do have a job. Okay. Do you work after school now? Now we're doing the summer. You work during the summer? Yes. Okay. Let me ask you a question about the minimum wage. Right now, there are a lot of employers who seem to think that the minimum wage, which is $3.35 an hour now, is keeping them from hiring an awful lot of young people. A lot of people are saying if you lower the minimum wage to $53 an hour, a lesser amount, that that in fact, will hire more teenagers. How about that? Would you be willing to work for a minimum less than minimum wage? No, no. But if if I needed the money. Sure. Right. Like, for a minimum, I think probably in the world of government policy, you've got to we probably have to have a better feel for it. Yes. In terms of whether or not you, in fact, would be interested in doing something like it. Right. You know, in the report by two monitors, she mentioned that among black teenagers, unemployment is hovering around 42.7%. How do you think that's going to affect the 42.7% of young people in the black community who can't get jobs? How are you going to feel about that if you realize that at some point you cannot get jobs? We get a good response from you.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=651.85,739.99"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Well, stand. You caught me off guard. Okay. Respond to it, though, because you did see the report then. See the report, I think going back to the wages, if it's 335 and it will raise I mean, lower unemployment will go down for young teenagers because you have mostly young teenagers like myself. I don't want to depend on my mother anymore. I want to get out on my own. You know, I'm sure that I can go back to school, but I wouldn't want to. Plus, I would like to help. But you want to work. And yet, in the report, we indicated that is difficult for young blacks to find work. We're going to continue our discussion. We have so much more to get into about parents and peer pressure and politics. But stay with us. We'll be back in a moment. Would that constitute Iran? In today's discussion is a team viewpoint where listening to teenagers about their views, future leaders of Baltimore and we're going to go to the phones. We've got a hotline on line one. You'll have one city line. Go right ahead. Uh huh. I make a comment on black unemployment, youth unemployment because I feel that the situation is, um, a condition of the MA, which leads people to think that we have to depend on the establishment to create opportunities for us. So my position is that what we have to do in order to correct the situation is become independent broker, you know? You know, if a person develop a skill such as polo or roof or carpentry or whatever, you know, they can cope with school and know that, you know, go out good work on their own. They don't have to wait or get in line waiting for a job opportunity for their look and just use their town.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=740.41,941.59"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"You're talking about teen entrepreneurship actually running a business for yourself, right?

And you have so many students that don't want to learn. And it's frustrating for them and for them to cut their paycheck. Okay. I mean, that can be very frustrating. I mean, it can stop them from one to teach and everything. And has it affected the quality of the education that you do get? I think so. In what ways? Well, some teachers may get crack down on students. Instead of teaching, they get more and they start talking about the cuts in education.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=1426.02,1658.78"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"They start talking about, you should do this and you should do that.

Well, do teachers play a very important role in our future? I mean, they're educating the future leaders of tomorrow. And I think that we should stress more on education because it's very important because, I mean, you need some good, strong leaders to run the country. Thank you. Anyone else want to comment on that? Young man over here would like to say something, but I don't understand where somebody obviously told Ronald Reagan that he would be president. They lied to him. He's he takes his foreign policy and he does well, He's got three answer for everything. Beat him up, send troops for starving to death and for budget cuts. If he wants to cut off the education, he figures maybe I can cut the education Nobel, grow up to have any sense and I could stay present forever, I guess. So you don't have a high regard for President Reagan? Evidently. No, I don't. What do you think the country needs to do about it? What do you think teenagers need to do about it? Well, you've got to find a president besides Ronald Reagan, somebody that knows knows more about how to run a country. The neat way because he's when he cuts education, it's like teachers are sitting there and they can try as hard as they can, but they don't have the right equipment of teachers up there. Put a request for drapes and haven't gotten them. And they're requesting materials and they get they're so slow that the course that they were trying to teach is gone already.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=1659.26,1750.31"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"It's since we're on the subject of politics, what are your feelings about what's happening in Lebanon, for instance, and its impact on you as a teenager and as a young man?

You've probably thought that nobody would dare shoot an American Marine. And he was wrong because these people, if you're over there, give them a purpose. Either go over there. Put up or shut up. Blow them out of the water or go home. So what do you think? They should be pulled out? I think they should either be pulled out or we should settle the conflict. But just sitting there and trying to show how bad these guys are because they're shooting at us and we're not shooting back. That's not helping. Okay. Thank you for the comments. We're getting back to the question of education. It seems that every time people talk about education, they seem to take a negative approach. I think if they looked at it positively and say, okay, instead of ridiculing and saying this is wrong and that's wrong, you don't supposed to do that. They should try and help the young people because they are the people who need help. I mean, you say that you all are the adults and you know what's best. So try and help us instead of ridiculing us all. Okay. How can parents how can how can adults do more to help kids get better educations? Well, like I said, wide open question. Well, like I said, they could take a more positive approach to the situation, you know, try to operate and say, okay, I want to help you or I'm trying to help you and show that person that you're trying to help them instead of saying, look, you're going to do this, that or the other, or you get no one.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=1751.0,1855.22"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And that makes them students who say that to you.

Let's talk to one of the young ladies in the audience. Stand for me. What's your feeling about premarital sex and teen pregnancy? Well, to me, teen pregnancy is not necessary. It's clinics out here that young ladies can go to to protect themselves. To me, I think if the marriage would be the best time to have children, had and raise children. But I wouldn't bring children into the world today. And yet. Why do you think so many teenagers are deciding to have children? They're really like children having children. Why do you think that? I mean, it's you have to look at the parents. If their parents are teaching the child, you know, the backgrounds and do not go out here and get pregnant. Maybe the child might listen. I'm not, you know, but I just can't see it. So you think in many cases the young people are not getting the training at home? Right. Okay. These right into a question over here. I want to ask you. A parent. What do you think the parents responsibility is in premarital sex and certainly in pregnancy? First of all, I don't agree with it. I think it plays no part in a teenager's life. And I think if a parent. Takes a bigger role in guiding the young lady or the young gentleman. I'm not saying they won't have problems and maybe they won't experience. They will experiment. But I, as a lot of the other young ladies have said, they've got to learn to accept the responsibility. And if you play with fire, you're going to be okay. But what's the parents role in preventing that, then? If a young man or young lady is sexually permissive, is there is clinics, private doctors and so forth.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670#t=2154.9,2253.64"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103608/file/203670/transcript/47227/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Take the young lady if to prevent an unwanted pregnancy.
