Ok, where are these so-called jobs that are hiring for AMERICAN teenagers for the summer? Age=17
My son has applied to all the local restaurants and retail, gets passed over, and usually for a Hispanic or Middle Eastern person. We know this because they are local businesses we are regular customers of- and 9/10 times the "newbie" is of said ethnicity.
He does have experience from working at a pizza place from last summer (they closed so he cannot go back there or he would have) but is trying to upgrade himself a little. He has his serv-safe endorsement as well.
One person mentioned to me it could be an "adults are more available" issue but i don't buy that- my son puts open availability on his applications, which is true, and still gets passed over.
Any suggestions to help him out here?? Where are the Americans working this summer so he can be with his peer group?
Nothing against Hispanics and Middle Eastern peoples- just upset that the hiring personnel in retail/food jobs tends to be that race and only hires their own.
Should we file an EEOC complaint or something?
