One issue in nearby NJ is that in affluent areas young people (the few there are) do no work at all. Foreigners are trafficked there to work the convenience stores, gas stations, restaurants, landscaping, etc. for “the execs”.
When I was younger many (American) high school classmates had jobs; now I see my children’s classmates and this is no longer the case.
When my nieces turned 16, my brother told them they had to get jobs. The money spigot was turned off, and if they wanted to buy anything, they would have to supply their own money. They didn’t like it at the time, but now they say it is what really turned them into self-sufficient adults who have good jobs.
