Kids are a much higher percent of the population now than they were during the small X generation. In my boomer generation with so many teenagers, one had to have some kind of political pull to land even a fastfood job.

The opposite is true.

Teenagers have never been a smaller portion of our population

I’m just judging by what has gone on in my neighborhood. Grade schools that had been closed for 20 years started opening again and where there were a few kids they are now everywhere.

This was long enough ago that most would be teenagers now. Maybe the curve is slanted because of how many older people are still alive now.
