******************************** Why Teens Aren't Finding Jobs, and Why Employers Are Paying the Price http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/index.cfm?fa=viewfeature&id=1681 As recently as 1990, nearly 70% of newspaper carriers in the U.S. were teens. But that number dropped to 18% in 2004, and more declines are likely. Although reasons for teens being edged out of this formerly youth-dominated profession are specific to the newspaper industry, the end of the boyhood (or girlhood) paper route reflects a dramatic but little-noticed trend: Teen unemployment has hit historic highs in the last three years. Experts in the field say employers who want to ensure a quality workforce down the line should sit up and take notice.
