I don't vouch for any of these articles, am just saying labor shortage has been a persistent narrative, so not sure what your point is?

  Labor shortage as a persistent narrative is at least 200 years old. How long is this shortage gonna last?

  Almost all of those are skilled labor industries. They're not hiring teenagers. That and/or their workplace activities take place during hours when kids are in school. What teenagers are going to be hired into Financial Services, IT, Government, Construction, Professional/Business Services and Healthcare jobs!? You're out of your mind.

Your Google skills suck, or you're lying on purpose: 1. First 2 articles are from 2019 and 2020. Obviously pre and early pandemic economy was totally different. 2. Third article is about a totally different topic, but even goes against your point. It's about people the government says should be working, but can't because of illness. 3. You think a Quora link of a random person asking "Why do young people not find work?" is proof of anything? 4. Again, a random reddit post is not evidence of anything 5. Your last link, again, is about a totally different topic: "Good jobs are out of reach for many 20-somethings in the U.S." This whole article is about children working. But please, tell me how to Google again...
