In an already tight labor market, businesses are finding fewer teens available for summer jobs, as students juggle work with classes and other activities.
Last year, only about one-third of teens held a summer job.
"When I'm not in school over the summer I like to keep myself busy. Rather than go to parties like normal teenagers, I want to have a job, I want to work," Hill said. "I want to have my own money." Hill works for Anthony Bannon, who employs about 38 teens ages 15 through 18. He has two boardwalk businesses in Asbury Park — Pucker and Tony's, a sausage stand — which are open from May through October. He takes pride in giving teens their first experience in the workplace and diligently works on retaining them year after year. But Bannon's has seen a shift in teen workplace dynamics in recent years and has had to change the way he recruits, bringing younger workers into the fold.
