Today in the USA rather a big generation of young people experience transition from childhood to youth. Particularly numerous young people are concentrated in the places which attract young job-seekers. This huge number of young people represents both opportunities and challenges for the country. At the same time most part of these people feel marginalized as they are not involved into decision-making activity. Of the many problems facing the youth in the USA, unemployment is the most important. 61 percent of young Americans are unemployed today. Another burning problem associated with the youth is negative effect of drugs and crime. According to the statistics more than 50% of violent crimes – rapes, armed carjacking, mugging and home invasions - are performed by the young people aged between 17 to 25 years.
