"Record-breaking Teen Wages Surge in Robust Post-WWII Labor Market"
Teenagers seeking summer jobs are experiencing the best labor market since just after World War II, with increased wages and more employers willing to train young employees. While there are fewer job postings for teens compared to last year, opportunities in the personal-services sector, such as sports and recreation camps, restaurants, and hotels, are abundant. Additionally, some employers in the legal and financial fields are open to hiring teenagers. The robust job market for teens is driven by a lack of older applicants, benefiting both businesses and young workers.
