How to Find Summer Jobs for Teenagers
Hit the pavement with your teen to help them get a feel for job searching. Be prepared to go back home and help the teen fill out an online application if the teen is trying to work at a chain store or chain restaurant. Once the job search starts, or job offers come in, be prepared to discuss work hours and who will get the car and when. Familiarize yourself and your teen with the minimum wage law in your state, as well as the child labor laws.
How Teen Pregnancy Affects Job Opportunities
Teen pregnancy can result in a young girl’s education being put on hold indefinitely. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, educational levels are related to both earnings and unemployment. Teens who are pregnant may be more worried about how to tell their parents, and what everyone else will think, and not looking at the long-term consequences. They may have to request maternity leave from school, and from a part-time job. Teens who keep their babies and do not find a way to finish their education will not be able to continue onto higher education, which will provide them with more job opportunities, higher salaries and greater job security.
Things Teens to Do on Summer Vacation
Teens look forward to summer vacation, yet one week into it, they’ll declare that their life is boring. Plan ahead with the teen who wants to find a job, volunteer or needs to work on self-improvement during the summer. Leave time for the teen to enjoy the time off from school and to spend time with friends and family. Schedule activities to do with your teen and make sure he has something to do the rest of the time, especially if you work outside the home.
