Best summer jobs for teens | FOX 5 News
SUMMARY: Teens across the U.S. are searching for summer jobs, but employers like Morey’s Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey, are finding it increasingly difficult to hire enough local teens. The amusement park hires over 1,500 part-time workers each summer, often relying on international students with J-1 visas due to a shrinking domestic workforce. Summer job participation among teens is trending downward, despite decent pay in some sectors like construction. Still, resort jobs like those at Morey’s offer a fun and engaging environment. The challenge remains: while summer jobs exist, fewer teens seem interested in filling them.
Now that school is out, teenagers will be looking to make a little extra money. Here’s a look at some of the best jobs out there.
