Teens4Hire.org Celebrates 20 Years of Helping Jobless Teens Gain Employment Teen employment lower today than 20 years ago
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA – April 6, 2022 – When Teens4Hire.org began its service in 2002 the labor force participation rate (LFPR) for teens 16-19 years of age was 47.6%. Today it has plummeted to 36.9% according to Fred Economic Research Data. A poll on Teens4Hire.org confirms that most teenagers want paying jobs but have never held one.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Teens4Hire.org works diligently to fulfill its mission as the leading nationwide online job and career center for American teens.
Over the past two decades Teens4Hire.org has served millions of visitors and connected hundreds of thousands of teens with visionary companies such as UCLA Healthcare, UPS Store, Honey Baked Ham, Golf Club of Houston, FEMA’s AmeriCorps, Pappa Roti, Trees Atlanta, Grady’s Family Fun Park, ReStore, Minnesota Travel Authority, and several others.
In addition to fulfilling job vacancies, companies support teenagers by providing a positive experience where the teen can learn life skills and build character. Kenneth Lucas, a five-year employee of the UPS Store #15 in Huntington Beach, California extols the benefits of his early work experience.
Lucas says, “I started working at The UPS Store the day I turned eighteen. I learned how to break out of my shell. Before I started working here, I was a quiet loner who was uncomfortable speaking up about anything. Working in this store has allowed me to find my voice and become more comfortable interacting with others, handling tough situations, and becoming a more responsible and respectable adult”.
Many jobs that traditionally employed teens have been phased out due to advances in automation and technology. Teens4Hire.org works to bridge gaps between young job seekers and companies facing talent shortages. For example, UCLA Healthcare in Los Angeles, California supports Teens4Hire.org as the need for healthcare workers across the board continues to grow particularly in nursing.
Services are free of charge to teens 14 and older. At the discretion of their editorial staff, companies can post legitimate openings or become listed as a featured employer with a link to their career center.
