Most don't know how to present themselves and act according to the unwritten rules of behavior in different jobs. I believe they think employers should "accept" them as they are. They fail to realize employers are not their parents or friends and do not have that type of relationship with employees. Employers want an employee who represents the company in a certain manner. Their unkept hair, inappropriate clothing, and idea that the world owes them something do not unusually fit in.

2 things: Teens whose families are making it have unreasonably high career expectations. This is a temporary stage amongst modern teens esp. boys. They either graduate college (few) or make more realistic career goals by their 20's when they resurge/emerge in the labor force. The other prob. is that immigraton has as much as doubled the entry level labor force, and teens, like women who typically dominate this job market, experience unfair foreign competiton. So those that need to or want to work have fewer prospects.

It's not because they are busy being students -- students who are not looking for work are not counted in the unemployment rate.

It's because employers need people with actual skills to do most jobs. And it takes experience, training, and education to develop useful skills -- things that teenagers haven't yet got.

Most teens are not required to work.. Education is their #1 priority or at least their parents #1. Also, the jobs offered for teens are basically fast food and some retail. Many of these jobs are filled by adults with minimal education and women who only want to work part-time to supplement their spouses income.

Minimum wage should not be used for part time entry level work. It discourages hiring in these low skilled entry level jobs. At one point, these kinds of jobs were excluded from minimum wage laws allowing teens more job opportunities.

Other commitments, such as school(be it high school or college), keep teenagers from working. Some parents don't encourage employment in teens, feeling that childhood should be just that.

Hello?
Teens don't work for a living, they work for toys.
They have housing and food.

Though teen employees are generally cheaper,
they are less reliable.

Employers would rather hire someone with
a track record.
