[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started working at the age of 16, in Giant Food.
Now there a huge work shortage and mostly because teens are at home playing video games or doing silly Dance videos.. Parents should make kids go to work. They are now paying kids $15-17 dollars an hour to work…..my first minimum wage job I was making $1.50 an hour I will have to work 10 hours to make what they are making now. There shouldn’t be a reason why there so many people not working. [/quote]

Wow, OP, you are pretty naïve (along with several other posters). Places that say they are hiring are not always (usually) hiring. They love understaffing and making current employees do as much as they can to maximize profits. When customers complain, they cry about labor shortages, and then customers tolerate substandard service. Then their corporate partners on Fox news tell boomers "Oh, teenagers are so lazy and playing vidoegames. That's what's wrong with our economy!"

I have an 18 y/o and every single one of his friends is working this summer. The problem is not teenagers.
