I delivered SeattlePI as a 15 year oldin the Summer of 1969 - inclu the paper of the first moon lamding.
Delivering papers is a kids job -not adults.
I feel sorry for the smucks today.

I don't care if an adult delivers papers. Its a job, and they are earning a wage, so good on them. They should be congratulated.

I recall the headline: MOON WALK.
Right wingers should love to deliver papers, no minimum wage for delivering papers.

Have you been drinking?
In our area - MOST - of the carriers are adults. Most have 2-3 paper routes.
Paper routes actually pay pretty good when you figure wage per hour. My son had a route with 190 subscribers. Including time to roll up the papers, it took him about an hour and a half a day - seven days a week or average 45 hours per month. He made just about right at $500 per month plus an average of $30-$50 a month in tips.
That is $13.11 per hour.
If someone had 3 of these routes, they would make about $400 per week for only working a half-day each day.
You could do a lot worse.
Another usually-teenager job is delivering pizza. You now see a lot of adults doing this job as well. I delivered pizza when I was 18 and in school. This was in 1983. I rarely made less than $250 a week, and only worked 4 days a week....in 1983.
Many of the Adults delivering papers are doing so as a second job, added income, or they couldn't find a job in their field so they are delivering papers full time until a better job comes up, and of course there are the few who truly make a living off of it with a few paper routes.
And yes, when I was a child, it was the job of a child, to deliver papers...and they made good money at it, compared to the rest us waiting to turn 16 to make a little above minimum wage at McDonalds.
I applaud the Adults doing whatever it takes in these tough times to try to make ends meet....it's sad none the less though...

i think his point is that these aren't adult jobs...or shouldn't be.
you haven't responded to that.
if they did it to just give us cheaper prices, then there would NOT HAVE BEEN a major shift upward on salary incomes for the wealthiest and lower wages for the middle class.In our area - MOST - of the carriers are adults. Most have 2-3 paper routes.

yeeesss....and my point is that it is an option that most people don't think of.
Look...we want to have a society where the cheapest price possible is what everyone wants so they can buy more stuff - this is the outcome - outsourcing anything and everything that can be done cheaper with slave-like wages.
We are were we are not because of evil corporate bastards...but because evil corporate bastards give us what we asked for...cheap prices.
I delivered the morning paper while in Jr. High School; both of my sons delivered the morning paper at the same age in the morning too. A couple of points: 1) We all made sure the paper was delivered as close to the front door [or where the customer wanted it delivered] as possible; 2) we all learned that hard work [walking a route in the driving rain at 5:00 AM carrying 75 or more papers, 365 days a year is hard work] and 3) learned a good deal about human nature.
The adults throw the paper from a vehicle and don't give a thought to where it lands. Our adult carrier delivered three different papers and several times delivered the wrong paper to us. Now I read several papers on line, get better news coverage in Time Magazine and do the crossword on my Nook.
