I told you before idea. Being in western mass I could of could pick -- -- and that was something and in the Connecticut River valley that was something I did not look forward to someone up to Maine and I much prefer being a dishwasher in my -- teen years. But this year. This year to really hard to get to get a drop my opinion I mean it I guess was hard in the seventies still I was beyond my teen years and at that point but. Term the mid seventies and went Carter stress tonight I don't think it was really easy for anybody to get a job. But this is apparently. That they'd -- summer employment for teens ages sixteen to nineteen. Is at its lowest level since World War II. That's that's truly something and I I mean I know that that there's something to this. Because my kids' friends can't that they don't have jobs they they either have these are crappy jobs in order were a library for like seven bucks an hour for a ten hours a week or they or they just don't have any kind of job by -- might my daughter Charlotte. Is fortune they've mobile quite -- -- like older kids who were who can work yet they have jobs. Caroline has job across the street from where I live with this as they swim instructor at thick at the key at the school slash camp. In the mighty mighty my middle daughter Charlotte has a job while working an idea working in an apartment complex in Framingham which is learning a lot you know. She's learning a lot about section eight. Yesterday -- inspector showed up you know she's getting -- she's getting the real kind of kind of you know life lessons that sometimes you don't get to later in life about the bureaucracy and welfare and that kind of stuff she's -- -- said. After she worked last summer in the same place she said I am I'm working America. And a it reminds me might have a guy down in Florida that I know. And I UPI he works at one of the hotel -- by Padilla store at City Hall I was there. And he was just Leo he he got anywhere he worked for white in the last campaign. In the 79. And -- -- history got a job in the that retirement sport in the and in January 1980. Just as the federal investigations were picked up steam makes -- I couldn't believe I was so lucky to be working in City Hall I just couldn't believe I was in City Hall. And on my first day at City Hall. The FBI came and with the subpoena and took away all the records. And I knew it was really at city at all. So that's a good way to know you were to be on the Kevin White days the FBI showing up. But anyway -- so -- -- you know Charlotte's learning -- learning about bureaucracy and about people you know people come into the apartment. Say they're you know -- pregnant and Charlotte zone Weirton. Because she's figured out that. She's the one that's gonna be paying for the baby and all the people she knows who work. But it's it's great to have a it's it's great to have experience -- -- just make money for college but just just to get the experience sees you the way the real world operates. As opposed to a high school. Where there are some good people that are viewed as you've seen from David McCall -- the address to the graduating seniors. About your not special but there -- a lot of their autumn moon bats there at all high schools much -- school every school. So I'm just bottoms wonder and is your kid have a tough time getting a job this summer is it is it tougher of the plate to get a job. I I -- firm like you don't in the past we've heard from people upset that they that the kids kick it drops kind of jobs that we used to get in kitchens. Because they don't speak Portuguese so they don't speak Spanish and that's -- -- it's really tough now feet you'd because they they mainly employee illegal aliens and a so united so you don't have -- that you don't have a shot English speak the language of the -- -- -- I think it's more just the fact that the the economy's just sold so pat you on the one nobody wants diary that rather run up. In -- the you know nobody's gotten a raise in -- in all these years as we talked about in the past and I think. I think a lot of people if they meet somebody else that rather give their regular workers say you know a little bit of overtime it's it's a way of somehow giving them a little extra money. To want them to make ends meet. -- was I was just interest this year you're right your kid or fewer righty if your parent of a kid. You have enough problems finding finding work -- view have you even given up. 18774694322. I know you know Charlotte stolen high school and I think guy I think mostly kids and Chrysler are not work. I was kind of surprised is. I just thought that you know most people in -- with most somebody I mean -- -- it but. Not -- a ram and maybe it's private sector program but I thought -- would know somebody you get to -- job no no it's not that it's not that way at all this year. 187746943221877469432. To the thing is to you know that he either somebody. This B. They need I think it now based in the use it it's more important formed have a job even -- in the past because in the past. There might be like reading -- book. You know I mean a book for recreation who won the last time we saw a kid reading a book I ate the same room like -- -- my kids don't read very much not for pleasure they -- for a school. So you know they if the money -- -- work and they're going to be screwing around on FaceBook here. Quitter and some it's doing just. I'm loving -- for the amount and I understand really why it's a typical mine my niece is eighteen dislike your girl she's got two jobs didn't. In a she she was enterprising she went out and got them. I don't think I I don't think there's easy to I really don't think there is easy to get as they used to be I don't think they're making up these number crunching some numbers saying that. 70% of teenagers are unemployed 70%. I guess that means high school you know I high school students that would like the summer. But don't you think a lot of us do this particular generation who thinks things should be handed tournaments -- not -- and are saying they would like a job and I'm going out looking for it. Well I mean I was kind of surprised last -- Charlotte with her friends and they want to this restaurant in the friend asked for -- an application to be hostess -- muted. It seems like that's and she should them a couple of months ago. As I mean I mean so yes the economy's bad -- jobs -- in short supply. But I think part of the problem. Is they're not -- They're lazy they don't bother to look they're expecting to be given to -- at the girl with girl please know your daughters have jobs my niece has a job but they've been brought up -- -- household says work via. -- -- Charlotte was pretty fortunate to get this job I mean the -- there was a connection to get this this job I mean that. But my oldest daughter she she just applied for the job and they said you know what you'll door -- -- your we need you notes and you live so close. Would like to have somebody as a swimming instructor who's never gonna blow us off because. You know they can't they decide the weather. Beaten because they decide this too much traffic on 128 we want someone who. If worst comes to worst we can come and knock on your gore. So they they they paid for her to become as a swimming instructor so that's what she does not she's lifeguard in a swimming instructor -- at. As opposed to just a regular counselor. But again I mean she's she's lucky because she lives near the school. When one -- one -- I I didn't get my job at the at the colony Kennebunkport. For various reasons and by had to while I had to work at Deerfield Academy say it was the same thing I mean I just I was close by and I was able to get it I was paint or hated him -- there. But I didn't like going up on the Larry and like the smell of paint anything like get that all over me I never could paint in the straight line was it was not a dictator. I know I know Elizabeth Warren thinks it's easy to be -- wallpaper hanger but I think paint the rose one step below. Wallpaper hanger and it's it's it's not that. It's not that easy spot in its not that much fun either. 1877469432. To -- work him.
