That got me to thinking. My first job was a paper route when I was in the 6th grade in '80. In the 7th grade I started working at the dollar movie theater. I've got a paycheck literally every month since I was 12 years old.
I don't see kids with jobs today, not even high schoolers. Fast food used to be mostly high schoolers employed except during school hours but I only see adults now. Same with stores in malls. Anyone else notice that?
