According to The National Consumers League, too many teenagers earn money in jobs they should not be doing.
Working to help save for college, contribute to your family’s budget, or just to enjoy some spending cash is a great idea. But teenagers and their parents need to ask if it’s this safe work?
Five Worst Teen Jobs:
1- Agriculture: Field Work and Processing. Agriculture is the most dangerous industry for young workers.
2- Construction and Work in Heights: Despite existing prohibitions that address specific types of hazardous construction work, it remains the third leading cause of death among young workers.
3- Outside Helper: Landscaping, grounds keeping and lawn service work often involves the use of dangerous power tools, such as chain saws and machinery such as tractors, all-terrain vehicles, and mulch spreaders.
4- Operator of Forklifts, Tractors and Terrain Vehicles: Just don’t even think about it if you are a teenager.
5- Traveling Youth Crews. Recruited to sell candy, magazine subscriptions, and other items door-to-door or on street corners, children as young as ten years old often work after dark, under dangerous conditions, and unsupervised by adults.
Five Tips For Teens To Consider:
1- Know the Legal Limits
2- Play it Safe
3- Make Sure the Job Fits
4- Don’t Flirt with Danger
5- Trust Your Instincts
