Job Search for Teens
​As a teenager, you may not be so eager about getting a part time job. Numerous teens are informed by their parents to get work once they strike that driving age. Car insurance and gas is not cheap. The caveat is that the job market for teens is weak because jobs that used to be for teens are now being filled by displaced adult workers. Employers will always favor an experienced adult over a kid, especially, if the kid is only 16.   However, with some diligence, a teen can find opportunities at grocery stores, babysitting, movie theaters and fast food restaurants.  First you need to know where to look.

Jobs for 13, 14 and 15 Year Olds

Jobs for 13, 14 and 15 Year Olds

Teenagers commonly ask about jobs that they can do. At the ages of 13, 14 and 15, kids want to make money but do not know where to start. According to Ask.com, the typical teen spends $9,626 per year; the majority of spending is on food and clothing. Teenagers get more than 50 percent of their income from their mom and dad. While they may get money for birthdays and allowance, many young people want more.

Why it is Hard to Get a Job

There are two factors limiting access to the job market. First there are strict Federal child labor laws. 14 and 15 year olds cannot work more than three hours per school day and not more than eight hours a day on days off from school. Furthermore, they cannot operate dangerous machinery or handle hazardous materials. A teen has to obtain working papers to make it legal to work for an employer. The second factor to a limited access to employment is just that most businesses have policy not to hire teens unless they are a minimum of 16 years old.
These two factors do not completely stop a teen from making money, however. Here are the best job suggestions for children under the age of 16.
