I pleased every time I see a high schooler working at the grocery store or fast food place.
My “official” work experience started when I was about 14.
Before that I mowed lawns.
I have done such jobs as well growing up. When AZ passed its 2007 on e-verify, an amazing thing happened. US teenagers replaced the illegals at fast food restaurants. The data show that American teenagers want to work. They are just being displaced by immigrants, legal and illegal.
