According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 35 percent of teenagers have actively sought jobs for the past five summers. This figure has dropped from previous years, as it was 50 percent in 2001. Historically, more teenagers have worked during the summer than during the school year, but the percentage of teens in the labor force over the summer is expected to decrease even more in future years.
As to why fewer teenagers are working over the summer, there are several reasons. Some people point to the fact that parents are putting a greater emphasis on grades and college, leaving less time for finding a job. Some people believe that maintaining high marks to gain admission to a college and earn a degree is a more rewarding endeavor than getting a summer job.
High school senior Tim Hajdukiewicz knows the importance of good grades, but he still feels summer work is important. “I want to make money to use while I’m at college,” he said.
Another reason for the decline of teenagers in the workforce is that they are competing with adults due to the increase in minimum wage. Because of increased salaries for more common jobs, older people are often becoming satisfied with entry-level positions.

Children today spend less than half the amount of time outdoors as their parents did when they were children according to the Guardian. This figure continues to rise as more video games and more indoor activities become more attractive to kids and teenagers. And it's not just video games that kids and teens use while inside, the time spent indoors is also impart to the use, and as some people classify, the younger generations addiction to social media.
Going into this new summer calendar, 65 percent of parents surveyed claim that their children spend more than 3 hours a day on screens in the summer. While CNN say teens spend approximately nine hours a day on social media. But how is this summer addiction different then one of previous years?
Teenagers in society today are more depressed than any other recorded time in history, and much of this is due to social media. A high school senior at Columbia High School (CHS) who wished to be unidentified said this about the matter. “I find it hard to go out and have fun when I see all this rich, wealthy and good looking kids my age on the internet living the life I wish I could”. Because of this social media causes depression that some kids are beginning to face most victims go right back to social media to make themselves feel better, instead of going outside and hanging out with friends, and the situation is only getting worse as the years go on. Many teen also look to seek the approval of other kids on social media as a validation of their success which leaves more kids stuck inside.
