Even as the\u00a0U.S. economy<\/a>\u00a0adds\u00a0jobs<\/a> and the unemployment rate ticks lower, there are fewer\u00a0hiring<\/a> opportunities for college graduates. And yet, high school students remain remarkably optimistic about their future employment prospects.<\/p>\n According to a new\u00a0report\u00a0by Junior Achievement<\/a>, 73% of teenagers said the artificial Intelligence<\/a> boom will have a mostly positive effect \u2014 or no impact at all \u2014 on their ability to get a good job that pays well. Junior Achievement surveyed more than 1,000 teens between the ages of 13 and 18 in January.<\/p>\n Of those polled, 68% said they plan to attend college, in line with recent years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
