Illiteracy is defined as a lack of ability to read and write or the lack of any or enough education. Illiteracy rates in the United States have sky-rocketed in the last 30 years, with the number of illiterate adults increasing by 2.25 million people each year. Forty-two million adult Americans cannot read. Approximately 50 percent of the nation’s unemployed youth ages 16-21 are illiterate and have almost no prospects of getting a good job.
