#RMU Extra: Congresswoman Robin Kelly (D-IL) has sponsored a bill with Congressman Dick Durbin (D-IL) that looks to tackle the astronomical unemployment rate among young African American men between the ages of 16 and 19. According to Rep. Kelly, the jobless rate among this particular demographic is 24 percent — seven times higher than the national average. Rep. Kelly’s HERO (Helping to Encourage Real Opportunities)for At-Risk Youth Act gives tax credits to companies that are willing to hire and train young workers between the ages of 16 and 24 Kelly told Roland, “This could be a first step into productive employment and we look at it as a step out of violence.” She added this piece of legislature could offer “hope and opportunity” to underserved communities.
