Took me two years into college before I finally got myself a job.

But now I've since graduated and have a nice full-time paying one. Still, I feel for them. The job market for teens sucks.

I'd love to hire her.

It's good that women are jobless, they can't work for shit anyway.
They want money? They can sell their asses to men, who do deserve to work because they can work harder, are more flexible and less emotional.

Diversity is strength!

We need more immigrants to take jobs from teenagers which they will keep for life instead of it just being a temporary teenager job.

If you don't support driving down wages and increasing unemployment you are RACIST, and XENOPHOBIC, and TOTALLY NOT COOL OR POPULAR.

The job market in general just sucks right now. Hopefully it starts to pick up soon.

Not sure what this has to do with technology, though.

If the labor department says 24%, the real number is likely something like 35%+.

Fuck the government job statistics.

They are total bullshit, and Obama has been dodging criticism because of them.

This is how they work:
Somebody ran out of unemployment, and didn't find a new job? LESS UNEMPLOYED PEOPLE TO COUNT!!!! LOWER THE PERCENTAGE!!!!!

Liberal media reports this like good little democrat party Obamabots, and completely ignores that the last 27 major economic reports for the US have all been, at BEST, underwhelming.

We are in a depression and the media can't even admit it. Why? Because their guy is in power.

haha no.

It won't.

Congressional republicans will cave to pressure from retards to pass the debt ceiling raise suggested by Moodys, without actually attaching the huge spending cuts Moodys said would needed to be done in conjunction for it to actually be a good thing.

The Obama administration has literally one of the worst fiscal and employment track records of any presidency. You know why there is no growth? Because people with money, that they love to demonize, can't predict the income tax rates or the goverment regulation that will make or break their ability to profit in the future.

You have the most dangerous socialist in the office's history, absolutely -no- good domestic news whatsoever about jobs and growth, and you say "hopefully it will improve"?

Wake the fuck up.

"I'm worried because I've got bills to pay." LOL.

Obedient consumer turds.

It's really not hard to get a job while in school, just make sure your grades are high and you send your applications in early.
I'm working full time at a bank, and part time at the university assisting one of my professors with his research.
Feels good knowing I have two jobs, while some loser neckbeard can't even get one.

Fags.
I all I had to do was say I need a job, and my dad was like I have a friend who owns a manufacturing facility, he can give you a job.

This article is about teenage unemployment, most of whom are in high school.

You most likely aren't in high school since you mention you work at some college.

If you weren't a retard who uses name-calling as an argument, perhaps you would have noticed that I said the media uses the numbers to their advantage, no matter how the situation is.

Liberal is in power? Lets keep reporting the nicer sounding lower number, RECOVERY STILL SHAKY headline reads.

Conservative in power? Lets make sure the second sentence after the U1 number is ACTUAL ESTIMATE MUCH HIGHER, SAYS EXPERTS. The headline will be "GROWTH NOWHERE IN SIGHT".

But oh no, I'm just another Glenn Beck. Full of doom and gloom trying to use facts to criticize a -gasp- BLACK president. How racist of me, I'm sorry.

See what it feels like to have words put in your mouth.

Now unless you can actually offer some alternative arguments and not resort to Jr. high namecalling, shut the fuck up and offer something. Otherwise admit I know more than you and my sentiments about government statistics and media handling of them is correct. I'd really be entertained if you tried to argue about my opinion of the cause of the problem itself.

Pretty much this.

When I was 14 I started working so I could save up for a car when I became 16. Obviously I didn't get my own car when I turned 16 (borrowed parents like everyone else) but eventually when i turned 17 I finally got the car I wanted and it was all mine.

>mfw liberals want to tax those making over $249k higher, not realizing this is literally absolutely retarded because:

A: a majority of small businesses file as personal, because it makes more business sense
B: government spending is proven to do -nothing- do improve the economy or create jobs. Well, unless you consider propping up union pensions and home-state company crony capitalism "jobs".

picture-related protip: we are still over 9, and the actual number of people off unemployment benefits has continued to rise, creating a "real" number that is currently around 16-18%, higher in some areas.

Lower Tier retail jobs hire people like mad during April-May because if they have a lot of high school senior employees, they need more people to fill in when(if) they leave for college.

I work at a grocery store, and they've hired close to around 10 people in the last 2 months.

Was that in reference to marrying for money, or marriage in general?

>>17944761

Fuck it, Bitch all I said is you have the option, what do guys have? (given they are not gay) is to join the fucking military, be homeless, or get a fucking job.

Also, I know this is the internet and dumb for saying this, but they're nice guys out there that wouldn't treat you like a prostitute, but you sound like a whinny feminist.

>>17944761
>WELL I didn't want to go there but doesn't sucking dicks override that?

Hiring people don't actually get their dicks sucked for a position in real life.
This isn't the movies.

It's all pure business.

Either sign up for selective service/draft, and start pushing for women to work more manual labor and skilled crafts jobs

You know what. I try to be civil but fuck it.

Would you like some cheese with that whine, you little bitch?

For those of us that actually want a decent future, we have the SAME EXACT options. Gender makes little difference these days. Get your little bitch head out of your bitch ass and get over yourself. Whining about how you actually have to live life like everyone else only makes you look like a lazy little self-centered bitch.

Also, you guys don't have any excuse about how women have it easier because you actually have to DO something with your lives because I can just as easily tell you faggots that all you have to do is to stop being lazy motherfuckers, get out of your basements and join the fucking military. Because no matter the circumstances men are still more valuable than women and they still have more chances to succeed in life.

And here we are in Norway and we actually LACK teenaged labour.

Seriously, we have at least 50 000 entry level positions that go unfilled, pay well (comparing US to Norwegain wages is dishonest though, due to how much more everything costs here, but it's above "minimum wage"), which is not counting the increased growth we would have if we had enough people to go around.

If only some white people who could follow the law and not hate on everything that's different would be willing to move over here.

There are plenty of Polacs, and while I have nothing against Polish people, their English skills are a bit poor, so it can be difficult to understand them sometimes.

Same here in The Netherlands.

There are also more than enough jobs for all the people on welfare.

I have no issue with getting Poles, Romanians, etc.
But really it would be better if all the people on unemployment did some of those jobs, even if they are only temporary jobs (which is the official reason why refuse to do them).

>>17945184
You seem to have this idea in your head that everyone who browses 4chan must be a complete loser much like yourself. There's nothing difficult in applying yourself and trying to get a job, though I bet you wouldn't dare leave your batcave to find out huh champ?

Apply to fucking everywhere, learn some fucking self-confidence and don't take no for an answer.

One of the easiest ways to tell if somebody is worth interviewing is to see how tenacious they are.

Hey are you guys hiring right now? "no." Are you accepting applications? "no." Do you think you might be in the near future "no."

At that point, come back when someone else is working, and ask them the same thing.

Learn to be self-confident as fuck and pimp out your drive/work ethic to anybody who even is REMOTELY listening to your need for work.

You can get a job, it is just harder than it used to be. You can't just mindlessly fill out info and expect anybody to take you seriously. YOU HAVE TO SELL YOURSELF.

p.s.: don't smoke weed, any employer who isn't a restaurant or is worth the experience drug tests now.

Stay positive. You have to appear youthful and with a strong work ethic, or you won't ever get a job.

Oh Jesus Harold Christ on a Motorcycle:

You want to join the army but not get shot at?

Don't joing the Marines, the Infantry, Cavalry or any other frontline unit.

DO JOIN:
Air Force for being a lazy asshat, the Navy or some supporting Army unit, like a Mechanic, Electrician, Desk Jockey, Comms operator, etc.

There are plenty of safe jobs you can get in the army. If you're honest about what you want when talking to the recruiter, he might be able to help you.
(OTOH, he won't, because recruiters are dicks)

>>17945243
Yeah, I know they are just lazy faggots.
That was the point I was trying to make.

IMO the government should just give them 11 months of welfare each year instead of 12.
Remaining month they can find a job no problem.
And if they work 2 months in the year, I am even willing to let them keep about half of it so they can go on holiday.

When I am out of a job for more than a couple of months I just take a low skilled job.
For example: I've been a mailman for about a year.

>>17945321

>working

Just get any low-skilled part-time job.

Then when you apply for a job and they ask you about work experience you can say:
"I am actually working at the moment, but I'm looking for something more challenging and within my field of interest"

Also, when you have a job where you get into contact with other people, you can often get a job just by word of mouth.
