Coming of Age at Work: Good Jobs for Teens
The Aspen Institute’s Economic Opportunities Program hosted a webinar titled “Coming of Age at Work: Good Jobs for Teens,” part of its Opportunity in America series, to examine how the labor market can provide age‑appropriate, high‑quality work for teenagers. Speakers highlighted that roughly 6 million U.S. teens aged 16‑19 are employed, earning a median $15‑$16 hourly, yet the youth unemployment rate sits at 14 percent—nearly three times the adult rate. The discussion stressed that job quality, not just employment, matters: mentorship, skill‑building, predictable schedules, and fair wages are linked to better long‑term outcomes. Apprentice chef Gabrielle “Gabby” Smith illustrated the impact of a structured apprenticeship, noting how early responsibility, time‑management training, and mentorship propelled her from high‑school work to a culinary scholarship and a startup that teaches chefs managerial skills. Her story underscored the value of intentional design and community support. The panel concluded that raising the floor for all workers, investing in teen‑focused development programs, and enforcing decent‑work standards can transform first jobs from mere stop‑gaps into career springboards, benefitting families, businesses, and the broader economy.
