Youth Employed - Grouped by SSA Benefit Status
 

Benefit status does not appear to be highly predictive of employment status among individuals under the age of 22. However, it should be noted that across the three groups less than four percent of youth beneficiaries were employed full time and more than 70 percent were employed part-time or seeking employment.
