Now that School is out for summer - Teen summer jobs are few and far between ...

    The Labor Department recently reported that the unemployment rate for teens, age 16 to 19 in May 2011, was more than 24%. In May of 2000 the unemployment rate was less than 13%. Some states are naturally hit harder than others. In California for example the unemployment rate among teenagers is more than 34%. The unemployment rate among teens in California is nearly triple the state's overall unemployment rate of 12%.

    Although the summer break for teenagers is relatively short, it could feel a lot longer and hotter without a job for the summer.
