Number of high-school students with jobs hits 20-year low. 32% in 1990 vs. 16% now. “Sectors that traditionally have offered teens their first paying gig – fast-food chains, movie theaters, malls and big-box retailers – have now become the last resorts for out-of-work college graduates or older Americans forced back into the labor force…” Dude, where’s my job? Sorry man, granny took it. Party on.
