My sons all had trouble finding jobs at 16. Fewer workplaces will hire at that age. Even fast food and other basic labor hires fewer teens these days.

As long as we're arguing statistics with personal anecdotes: the dairy queen my younger kid worked at was about 80% teenager, with an attrition rate of wow!. The older kids' jobs at an upscale fast food is also easily 50%+ teenager. Both kids were pretty much hired on the spot with no previous employment.
