Military recruiting rises as youth unemployment climbs

Original: Military recruiting up as youth unemployment rises

US military recruiting is reportedly increasing as youth unemployment rises, with several Colorado news outlets reporting the trend. Commentators suggest young people facing a tough job market are turning to the armed services for stable pay, benefits and training, reviving debate over whether economic conditions are driving enlistment rather than patriotism or recruitment reform efforts.

Why now: Rising youth unemployment apparently pushing more young Americans to enlist is drawing attention to the economy's effect on military service.
