Sinopse
As recently as 1990 nearly 70% of newspaper carriers in the U.S. were teens. But that number dropped to 18% in 2004 and more declines are likely.

Experts in the field say employers who want to ensure a quality workforce down the line should sit up and take notice. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
