A new Labour Force survey showing younger students had a harder time finding summer jobs this summer than older students.
The unemployment rate among students aged 15 to 16 in July was 32.7 per cent. For 17 to 19 year-olds, it was fifteen percentage points lower at 17.6.
The older age group also faired better this summer than they did in 2009 during the labour market downturn. The unemployment rate that July was more than 2 per cent higher.
