Youth Employment

Youth Rules - Get the facts on Federal and State rules concerning young workers.  find out about hours you can work, jobs you can do, and workplace safety.  For teens, parents, educators, and employers.

Employment Agencies - Some businesses don't want to advertise their job openings or interview job applicants.  So, they hire an employment agency to do it for them.  They tell the employment agency about upcoming projects and what kind of help they're going to need. The agency then goes out and recruits people to fill those jobs and then sends their best recruits to work for the business.  Some temporary jobs can last a few days; others can last a few months.  Very often, temporary workers are offered full-time permanent jobs at the businesses they are placed.  People also use temporary work as a means to learn new skills, gain experience, make contacts, and build references.  In fact, 40 percent of all temporary workers are working in their first real job.  Contact these Employment Agencies in your area to find out more:
