working teens

Teenagers in the U.S. often spend substantial amounts of money every year. Teens buy clothes, food, etc. every day. Many get money from their parents but some work for it. 22% of most teens work in food service. 16% of them you can find doing odd jobs like baby-sitting, yard work, walking a dog, etc. 12% doing manual labor like construction. 8% of teens work as stork clerks or as cashiers. 6% have newspaper routes, 5% do office work and 4% work in retail.

For those teenagers that do work, on average, they work around 15 hours per week and earn about $5.25 an hour, with boys earning slightly more than girls ($5.50 vs. $5.15).

Child Labor Laws regulates that 14 to 15 year olds only work between 7AM to 7PM during the school year and between 7AM to 9PM during the summer. Laws also state that teens can only work a maximum amount of 18 hours a week, 3 hours on school


Reggie Gaddis, a senior of West High works about 15 hours a week at Chucky Cheese and says, "My job is pretty easy, I work as a game technician and it's kinda fun."

Although some students don't have the time to do what coach Gilbertson did they still work and attend school regularly. Vang Xiong, a sophomore of Madison West High School, works at Bang Don Restaurant and says, " I work about 6 hours a week and get paid $5.50, I don't work much but I don't really have a hard job ether."

Mr. Gilbertson, the weight training teacher of West High says, "It's important to balance activities and to try not to become wrapped up in work and stuff." Gilbertson also says, "When I was a senior in high school I worked 30 hours a week and played 3 sports, football, baseball and hockey, and was the captain of two of the three teams. I work enough to even buy my own car."
