Employment expert explains why most teens won\u2019t be working the hot-dog stand this summer <\/em><\/p>\n

\"SummerA Pew study recently revealed that the number of teens with summer jobs has been on a steady decline for the last 2 decades. While almost half of American teenagers used to spend their summers scooping ice cream, slinging burgers, or working at the mall, now only around one-third of teens will spend their summer months employed.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just that teens don\u2019t necessarily want to find summer employment, but that the employment opportunities themselves have changed,\u201d says Rob Wilson, employment expert and President of Employco USA, a national employment solutions firm. \u201cThere are less entry-level jobs available for these unskilled workers, and with new robotic technology at fast-food restaurants and fast-casual chains, these young would-be workers are being automated out of employment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson also points to disappearing American malls.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen so-called \u2018anchor\u2019 stores such as Sears or JCPenney close down, it becomes very problematic for the mall as a whole,\u201d explains Wilson of Employco USA. \u201cFilling that retail space is very difficult, and with giants like Sears experiencing a major decline, that means that many malls across the country are going to be left with huge vacancies. This puts all the stores within the mall at major risk, from your kiosks to your pretzel stands to your small clothing stores.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition, teens are now shifting their focus from flipping burgers to working internships in their desired field of employment, especially as President Trump has made internships more widely available to teens.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn recent years, controversy over unpaid internships has meant that some companies have decided to change their policy regarding student interns,\u201d says Wilson.<\/p>\n

But President Trump might be reversing that trend, as new policies regarding unpaid internships will loosen up the regulations that companies formerly faced.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder recent provisions to the Fair Labor Standards Act<\/a>, it is now legal for employers not to pay interns, provided that the intern benefits more from the working relationship than the employer does,\u201d says Rob Wilson, employment trends expert and President of Employco USA. \u201cIt is also important that the intern does not perform any tasks or functions which would replace the efforts of any existing employees.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, says Wilson, these provisions could make it easier for students to find internships than in previous years, while simultaneously protecting the jobs of paid workers.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust because teens aren\u2019t working at the mall or the ice cream store anymore doesn\u2019t mean that there aren\u2019t ways for them to stay busy and gain experience at the same time,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cInternships are a great option for summer work, especially for teens who still live at home and have Mom and Dad to help pay bills.\u201d<\/p>\n
