Newsy
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, about one-third of U.S. teens age 16 to19 are currently working.
If you've gone to a restaurant lately, or maybe a salon, you've likely noticed the lingering "help wanted" signs.
"If we don't get enough (workers), typically what we do is we have a contingency plan where we're open either on weekends or shorter hours during the week, so we can still open but with very limited hours," said Josh Reusser of Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation.
In Salt Lake City, the Parks and Rec. Department needs lifeguards, a summer job typically filled by teens.
