Episode Details

This summer, teens are facing the toughest job hunt since 1948, with teen employment down 25%—thanks to inflation, cautious hiring, and vanished entry-level gigs. Once routine summer jobs now demand experience, leaving straight-A students like Jaelyn stuck without paychecks or gas money. Some, like Connor, are turning the struggle into opportunity by launching job-search platforms. With AI and minimum wage laws pushing employers away from inexperienced applicants, teens must hustle harder—and smarter—than ever before to land their first real-world gig.
