Notes: Numbers don't sum to 100% because young people who are both employed and enrolled are included in both categories. Enrolled refers to enrolled in high school, college, or university. Shaded areas represent recessions. Each month represents a 12-month moving average leading up to that month; for instance, March 2023 represents the average value from April 2022 to March 2023.
