With increased unemployment comes decreased opportunity for teenagers to find jobs this summer. Since 2000, teenagers have gone from an employment rate of about 60% to a rate of 47%. This statistic is based on the number of individuals age 16-24 years old. This summer is expected to be even worse. Even minimum wage jobs may be hard for teenagers to seek out with such staggering unemployment numbers. It is encourages for young individuals to apply to as many locations as possible to increase their chance of seeking a job before the summer months come to burn even more holes into their pocketbooks.
