Economist in Story About Effect of Recession on Young People
A Bangor Daily News story about the impacts of the recession on children and young adults included comments from UMaine economist George Criner. Responding to data released Thursday that shows more Mainers were living in poverty in 2010 than in any of the previous four years, Criner said entitlement programs help but are become unsustainable. He also told the BSN he sees the effect of the recession every day on college students and young adults entering the job market.
