According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the current unemployment rate for teens is 26.4 percent (compared with 23.2 percent in 2009 and 18.9 percent in 2008). Career specialists say that teens may find themselves competing with college grads and unemployed adults for available positions, but that perseverance is the key to finding a job. Other teens are opting for internships or volunteer work. Although it may not provide a weekly paycheck, an unpaid position can give you valuable experience for your resume or college application.
