Are you 14 years old and trying to find a job? If you are you might be pretty discouraged because they are very hard to find right now and there aren't that many types of jobs you are allowed to do anyway.
Summer jobs for 14 year olds are difficult to get because you are too young for most employers to hire. Also, right now there are not many jobs anyway and many adults are looking for jobs too. This is something you will understand more as you get older but it is not your fault and there is nothing you can do about it.
Many of your friends might be looking for jobs too and they are probably also having trouble finding them. This year, more teens than ever are looking for summer jobs and many of you have probably seen or heard about the bad economy from your parents. Many parents are worried whether they will be able to keep their jobs and pay the bills. It is pretty much that way all over America and not just in your part of town.
If you can't find a job, are there other skills or talents you have that maybe you can get some money for? Do you know how to pull weeds or mow lawns? Can you babysit or pet sit for your neighbors? These are things you might try doing if you can't find a real job somewhere.
The bad economy is not going to go away this summer and probably not this year. Hopefully by the time next summer comes along in 2010, jobs for 14 year olds will be easier to find. But until then, you will have to try to keep yourself occupied, stay out of trouble, and don't be a pest to your parents.
