Are you finding there are more summer jobs for students in your area this year?
Neither of my kids worked last summer even though they both applied for jobs, especially DD, who was 18 at the time and didn't have to deal with getting a work permit. She had a few interviews but didn't get anything until the fall. She did do some work for DH's business and all her friends that had jobs other than dogsitting and babysitting worked for their parents. This year all of her friends home for the summer have picked up jobs quickly.
Even DS17 (and still needing to get a work permit) is getting interviews and we expect him to be working.
Today I received an email from the city recreation department asking for kids to apply for summer jobs. I've never seen them short of applicants or send out an email like that in the past.

I'm going to have to keep my ears and eyes open and see what it's like around our area.
