If you want evidence that this is so , just try to remember back when the miniwage was low, and how many American teens worked summers at harvest, pumping gas, gathering turpentine and throwing hay. Jobs you can't find a teen doing here anymore, it just is too hard to find such a job and if you do the dollars you get are not worth the time.
Yes Plane you are correct and it got kids to begin their work habits...to learn about work
I started as a dishwasher after freshman year in high school
I also mowed some lawns during the day
It was a good learning experience of dealing with work, bosses, co-workers, customers
Instead of like today's kids sitting on a sofa playing video games & texting on a cell phone
Many of those type jobs are now done by illegals
Another unqualified cost of the illegal invasion...stripping our youth of early job training
