I don't know what the situation is in general, but when I was a teenager (not that long ago, though longer than I'd like), in the town where I lived most places wouldn't even consider hiring anyone under 18 because of legal issues. If you assume that everyone aged 16 or 17 is unemployed, that the number of people of each age is equal, and that I can do arithmetic just before bed, the unemployment rate for the 18-24 year olds would be only 36% or so.
