Chicago’s summer jobs program sees another year of growth following pandemic-era dip – WBEZ (Chicago)

And the demand for summer jobs continues to far outpace the slots available due to a lack of funding and corporate partnerships. Last year, roughly 51,000 kids applied for just 28,000 available positions. The city endeavored to add 2,000 slots to this year’s program, but that was cut in half during budgeting last fall because of financial constraints.

That is really nice that 51,000 kids applied for summer jobs.
What’s not nice is being let down by all the adults who ignore these kids and by the other adults that flooded Chicago with illegals and by another set of adults who employ the illegals.
Shame on all these adults.
