34. there is a labor shortage in my area, every teen who wants one has choice of jobs
Edited on Fri Jun-15-07 04:52 PM by pitohui
it may be a local issue but there is a labor shortage in the hurricane affected regions which means teen workers are earning more than they ever had the opportunity to earn before

no idea about teen employment rates elsewhere

in my area i would be looking hard at the teen and assuming the kid is fibbing about the job apps, either that or can't pass a drug screen

but of course job/employment opportunities can be local and in some areas why hire a legal worker when an "undocumented" worker will do the job for less than minimum wage

seriously, if you have someone the kid can stay w. in the gulf coast region, the kid could be working almost immediately and pulling down good money around here
