Where are the jobs for young people?
Unsurprisingly, a quarter of the young people who will be working this summer will have a job in the foodservice industry. This makes sense, as restaurants are a good place to find entry-level work as a host, cashier, or server. Retail jobs came in second at 17 percent, then childcare—likely nannying, babysitting and tutoring—came in third at 11 percent.
