They look in May and June and work will school starts.I love in Nassau County and I see college kids scrambling all over for a summer job.A sizable number of our 20 million college students are voluntarily not participating in the workforce these days. I and my fellow students worked our way through college while the trend today is to borrow the money instead.
We were included when calculating the labor participation rate. Today's voluntarily non-working students are not. Also, many of us who were alert and aware during the '80s laid the foundation for our financial futures and have retired younger than our parents did. I retired in my mid-fifties and was counted as a non-participant based only my age, not the reason why I wasn't working.
Comparing the raw, unadjusted numbers to earlier times misrepresents the real picture.
The malls are packed with them.
College kids should only be doing that in May and June not August unless they retarded
Sometimes they can't get something immediately and wind up looking even in July.
They'd rather work a little than not at all.
If they are not working July it's no point in looking
