'Employers are so desperate for workers that you can be somewhat choosy in the job that you pick.' Teens have a unique advantage in this summer's hot job market.
out of class for the summer were expected to help cool off the job market, especially in service industries. That hasn’t necessarily been the case, as jobs are still readily available halfway through the summer., research director at the Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy at Northeastern University. “I think it was a little bit surprising how well it has held up and how many opportunities there are out there for young people.
“It's really hard to get domestic workers to do those kinds of jobs for the pay that farms and other agricultural employers are usually offering. So teenagers are a ready and willing workforce that's being rediscovered not just by farmers but all the way through the labor market.”“It's definitely true that a rising tide is not lifting all boats, even in this super strong labor market. For example, the unemployment rate right now for white teens is 10.
“It's not a level playing field. And it's much more difficult as a low-income, inner-city kid to access these kinds of job opportunities, whether it's not having the jobs nearby or not having the networks to be able to get hired into these jobs.”“Having gone through COVID, we don't always have to be physically in the same location to be working together.
“That has really expanded job opportunities for young people, either who are in other parts of the state, who would like to work with employers in Boston or even for young people who are in Boston.”
