Many are home in their bedrooms being on social media.
Translation: illegal aliens. Otherwise ICE woudn't bother them.
when i had my FF job, there were breakfast moms while their kid was in school. The bulk of us were teens and college students. Now there are adults working FF who think they should raise a family on minimum wage.
This (FF) was always a starter job. Unless u worked up to management.
BS on the entire article. Many fast food jobs are now taken by adults.
They’ve been replaced by people who often look like they’ve just been released from prison. Ugly tattoos on their arms and hands and even uglier demeanors
Except for in n out, in SoCal they are all Hispanic adults.
Today’s teens are pampered little princesses and princes by their over indulgent parents. Work is a four letter word to them. Besides it would mean they’d have to take their noses out of the phones and that’s just a horrible terrible earth shattering idea.

“Where Have All The Teenagers Gone?”
Look! The New York Times is advertising for new employees!
I hate it when FReepers rag on all young people. How are you geezers with your harsh dismissiveness of youth somehow morally superior to young people?
Looking at that graph, perhaps a large portion of the problem is the greatly increased number of restaurants.
What more workers? Pay more money. It’s not complex.
I had substantial jobs every summer of my teen years. Even after entering college I worked every Summer. My children did the same.
The McDonald’s in my area recently installed kiosks where you can order electronically. You can still order from a person at the counter, but there are fewer people at the counter than before - usually only one.
There are a boat load of teens willing to work in fast food. They quit looking for fast food employment when the massive waves of illegal immigrants took them. Now that some of those illegal immigrants raced back home after Trump was elected, now fast food joints need teenagers. It wouldn’t be a problem if those fast food joints had hired teenagers routinely instead of illegal immigrants. They made their own bed.
Parents don’t make kids work
Illegals
I think it’s both
Nobody will like this
I live in Franklin TN
We have two McDonalds in close range
One is mostly Hispanic workers
One is mostly black workers
Which one you figure operates best and friendliest
My kids like McDonalds and my Rotts are grateful for dollar menu McDoubles
Same thing as in National Parks....I worked when I was 17 in Yellowstone National Park for the summer....now Adults (generally retirees) do the work. Also, other places like the Grand Hotel hire waitstaff from overseas for the summer...THAT’s where all the jobs go.
