According to StatCan[1], the unemployment rate for people aged 15-24 is more than double that of people over 25. Speaking for myself, it was brutally difficult to find my first job. I was unemployed for months.
Alberta is introducing a lower minimum wage for ages 16–18. I don't particularly like having a minimum wage that discriminates based on age, but we already have a bunch of special employment laws for minors. I actually lost my job as a concessions cashier to one of those restrictions when I was 17.
