Jobs for teenagers and even young adults are scarce nearly four years after the official end of the Great Recession.The problem with high youth unemployment goes beyond young people not having pocket cash or savings; the bigger problem is that young people who don't work don't have any work experience. Sum said 51.7 percent of teenagers had summer jobs in 2000. Last summer, just 30.5 percent of teens worked during the summer.
