Yes, already the unemployment rate is the greatest int he higher age ranges..the closer you get to what is generally considered retiremnent age (though most at that age still need to work) the harder it is to find a job. Corperations are interested in employing the young so they don't have to pay them as much, teenagers would increase that.
As well at that age kids should be focusing on their school and having a bit of fun before being stuck in the humdrum world of the 9-5 job. If they have to work then they will not be able to complete highschool as well, let alone college.
