Once a rite of passage to adulthood, summer jobs for teens are disappearing.
Fewer than three in 10 American teenagers now hold jobs such as
running cash registers, mowing lawns or busing restaurant tables from
June to August. The decline has been particularly sharp since 2000, with
employment for 16-to-19-year olds falling to the lowest level since
World War II.
And teen employment may never return to pre-recession levels, suggests a projection by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

My teen has two jobs and searched daily for a month to find them. It takes a tremendous effort.
if you search for a job you will find it. kids are too picky "i dont want to work at mcdonalds" well yeah noone does, but a job is a job. you need money to survive.
The illegal mexicans have taken all the jobs , with false IDs.
But I heard the private sector is booming!Or is that BS from Obama?
3:52 only a doofus would consider teen unemployment as a measure of how well the economy is doing
