Anecdotal evidence is that people not born in this country are filling these types of jobs nowadays.
Why not import another 250,000 low-skilled, uneducated manual laborers from Central America in the next 6 months?
How could that possibly effect job opportunities for low-skill, young, or low-educated American workers?
Is this actually “teens” as in young people 13-19,
or is it the “teens” that the media uses to cover up an uncomfortably truth?
Raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour,
No one should be allowed to work and get paid unless they can paid $15 or more.
As Pelosi said “Unemployment is leisure time’
How about those illegals hanging outside of Walmarts
Is this from the Onion? Or do I post a duh?
Well, there is an ironic upside to teens not being able to find employment. When their parents fill out the Fafsa government financial form when these students are ready to apply for college, the money these students did not earn can’t be held against them.
There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues.
My 18yo has applied every summer since he was 16, and he never heard back from anyone. He followed up with phone calls, but the companies would say: Don’t call us. We’ll call you if we’re interested.
He’s a smart kid. But summer positions are just few and far between. It seems teens who get summer jobs either personally know the employer who’s hiring, or they already have work experience, or they just apply very early - like in late winter/early spring.
Incidentally, companies are asking strange questions on applications nowadays.
Maybe the kids could create themselves a job. Yard work or house cleaning or something. I did yard work till I was almost 17 and joined the work force; a janitor at an auto plant till I graduated high school and then went to work as a cartographic draftsman to get on with college. That was in the early 80s. Different world then I guess.
Time to lower the age for Welfare and Food Stamps to 13. Get them used to living off the public teat early!!
All they have to do is LIE and tell them they are an ADULT ILLEGAL ALIEN like everyone else here, hired on the spot
Not in San Antonio, Texas. Plenty of help wanted.
In California, people are fighting over Starbuck’s jobs.
