Figure 1

Employment growth rates for US youth: 2002–2016. The graph plots year-on-year employment growth for persons aged 14–24 years as linked circles on the vertical axis, and for the rest of the US population as squares. (Data from the U.S. Census Quarterly Workforce Indicators Database [QWI]). The following states were excluded because of incomplete data between 2001 and 2016: Arizona, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire.

Figure 2

Input–output linkages between US sectors. The graph shows linkages between the US sectors, to illustrate the concept of upstream and downstream sectors. The arrows show the direction of flow for materials; so for example, one can see that Electric Utilities are downstream of the coal- and oil-mining sectors. Similarly, the figure illustrates how the food manufacturing sector is upstream of restaurants but downstream of crop and animal farming (Data from the BEA 2002 Benchmark Input–Output Tables).

Figure 3

Estimated coefficients of import exposure by age group for 2000–2007. The graph shows the estimated coefficients and confidence intervals for US import trade exposure, in the simple specification that corresponds to columns 1 and 2 of Table 1. The estimates are constructed separately for each age group. T-tests of differences between the youngest age group and the others yield the following p-values: 0.175, 0.000054, 0.0099, 0.0007, and 0.000049.
