I have 2 daughters. My 18 year old has been working as a lifeguard since she was 15 and will go to college this year and contribute $4,000. My 15 year old worked last year at a pool snack bar. This year at “Chick Filet”. A fast food place filled with wonderful, well mannered kids. They both babysit. and I pay them $20.00 to mow our lawn which is almost a half acre.
There are plenty of jobs at minimum wage. They just need to try instead of parents throwing 20’s at them.
“There are plenty of jobs at minimum wage.”
Maybe in your part of the country. This far from the situation here in SWFL.
“There are plenty of jobs at minimum wage.”
Here in NJ there are some, but not nearly enough in comparison to the number of applicants. People here found that out the hard way when they stayed on unemployment as long as possible because they would have lost 50% of their income if they took the jobs that were available at the time. The unemployment payments have stopped, and now they’re looking at losing 75% of their income if they take a minimum-wage job.
