A sci fi bookstore cafe in San Francisco recently closed and cited the loss of service workers as a primary cause. When they started 10 years ago they employed at least half high schoolers... now they can't find any.
I wonder if that is because of demographic changes in San Francisco, or because high schoolers have better opportunities now. Such as internships at the science museum or STEM companies. Or maybe there are other cafes or service jobs high schoolers prefer.
Thoughts??
- germinalphrase 7y agoPerhaps high school - and high school related activities - have become more time consuming. Likewise, if San Francisco parents are on average more wealthy than in the past, their children would be less incentivized to work for minimum wage and more incentivized to compete academically (or in related capacities) for fewer, but more fruitful, future opportunities.
