Future now becky quick. We begin with a summer job for many of us it was working as a lifeguard, poeing lawns or maybe scooping ice cream a parttime summer gig was the first introduction to the workforce, but as kate rogers found, businesses these days have a tough time finding teens hungry for a paycheck. Still hiring is this weeks cover story. Reporter janai hill is kicking off her first summer working in new jersey. The 16year old is making 10. 50, 0. 50 above the minimum wage, serving up cold drinks and fries to customers on the boardwalk. When im not in school over the summer i like to keep myself busy. Reporter hill may enjoy working but the share of teens working or seeking work in june, july and august has been stagnant in recent year. Participation rate in last summer it was 40 , ten years ago it was 50 and in the late 1990s, 60 at the same time, the number of teens enrolled in summer courses has gone up significantly. In 1985, just 10 of teens took courses in july. Last year, that number was at 45 . While preparing for college is important, experts say so too is having that first job. We hear a lot of conversation about being college ready. We dont hear a lot of conversations about being work ready. You can only learn so much in a classroom about how to actually work in many cases those first jobs are really important at teaching skills that supplement classroom education that cant replace it. Reporter whether it is summer courses or other Extracurricular Activities, franchisee make hane has seen a shift in the atlanta area. Theyre doing things like volunteer work theyre engaged in their churches, whether it is volunteering there theyre looking at their Extracurricular Activities they are taking additional summer courses whereas previously the labor pool for summer students would have been much higher. Now we fit a little bit differently in the mix. Reporter in fact, he says in order to remain flexible with teen scheduling hes getting creative, hiring more workers. Meanwhile, hills boss Anthony Bannon says he shifted recruiting tactics as well, bringing younger workers into the fold as older teens became less available. We found over the last couple of years as 15, 16, 17year olds arent working as much we had to open up to 14 and 15year olds using programs like working papers and working with schools. We had to expand the age range a little bit. Reporter in this labor market the lack of availability is anything but ideal for these companies, becky, but theyre finding ways to make it work. It is so different than when we were growing up kate, are teens still applying for these jobs at all . So they are, but their availability is really, really shifting because theyre padding their resume for college, you know. Right. You know, if you can afford because your family is more well off to not work and do all of these Extracurricular Activities and still have your parents support you, thats one road kids are doing more with sports or theyre working but their time is in shorter shifts because they have to get to volunteer work, sports or whatever it may be. Kate rogers thank you. If teens arent earning summer paychecks, how are they spending time andrew is with glass door. Thank you for being with us today. Thank you. What do you think is happening to the summer job . Why arent teens working the way they were . This has been happening since the 1980s, the share of teens trying to get jobs has been plummeting and the main reason is the value of education has risen so fast in todays changing job market compared to wages in retail and restaurants where most teens work, that teens are spending their time in school and doing things in the summer that make them a better applicant for top colleges. So once again it is colleges fault for not putting enough emphasis or not giving enough weight to a teen responsible enough to get a job. It is also changes in the job market, right. In 1980, manufacturing played a bigger role in the economy blue collar labor jobs were a bigger share of jobs today all of the job growth is happening in health care, tech and professional services. Those are fields where you have got to have Higher Education in order to advance and really get into them. Does it seem like teens are getting shortchanged on this and that maybe colleges and businesses are shortchanging themselves in terms of all of the things you get being a teenager, getting a first job, making sure you show up on time, that you know how to deal with all kind of customers . It just seems to me it is a hugely valuable skill set that maybe isnt being appreciated enough. I agree there definitely are on the job skills everybody learns in their first jobs and theyre soft skills, basic things like being responsible and learning how to negotiate with people and work in teams but the reality is that you can also learn that in school as well, like a lot of aspects of course work and volunteering are very similar to working, you know, in a job. One Silver Lining for teens is that wages are definitely rising in retail and food service jobs. About half of teens work in those two sectors. Thats where most of the jobs are, and because employers are struggling to hire them we are seeing on glass door faster wage growth for those positions and for the overall economy. Theres a Silver Lining there. Who is getting those jobs for the most part it is teens with more skills frankly another trend that is happening is highpaying internships this is a new thing at tech companies. Often if you are a seen with some programming skills, there are internships at facebook and amazon that will pay 6,000 or 7,000 a month for the summer for an internship. Wow. It is pulling teens away from the traditional waiter or cashier jobs as well. I think it is great to see internships that actually pay because it means people who dont have parents who are well off have the same opportunity in terms of getting the internships and being able to accept them and say yes. If you have the coding skills that are in demand, you can, you know, land one of these really highpaying internships that puts you on the fast track to a great job in new york, San Francisco, seattle or one of the other highpaying metros. Andrew, thank you it is good to see you. Thank you up next, were on the money usually when somebody spots a shark everybody gets out of the water.

Costa, those are a few of the hundreds of sharks tracked by o search, a nonprofit helping to collect data on the predator it is not just for the scientists you and i can track the movement as well. Joining us from Salt Lake City is chris fisher, founder of o search thank you for being here. Good to see you. I am a huge fan you of on twitter and other places, but why did you start o search by the way, you are a fisherman, not a scientist originally, right . Thats right. Back in the early 2000s we were helping some scientists study bill fish. We were helping them capture, tag and release them, and they started talking to us about our large sharks and we are down to about some of our lar10 of ou, and if we lose the shark were not going to have fish for our kids i said where are they migrating and giving birth they said, theyre too big we dont know i said, man, did you say no big sharks, no fish sandwiches they said yeah i said, i guess we better do that it is interesting why we do our work it is about abundance so everyones kids can eat food, but, you know, the path to abundance goes through the lark sharks and the great white shark. You have been incredibly successful, you and the Scientific Community in terms of seeing a rebound of the species. Where are we now versus when you started . We are making big progress on the east and west coasts, having a nice recovery of white sharks from management moves made 20 and 30 years ago we are having a steady increase and i think we are winning on the east and west coast from a Fisheries Management standpoint and it is a testament to a lot of good science and management were kind of the model of the work. I mentioned i have been fascinated with you for several years now. You let the public follow along and follow the tracking paths of some of these sharks, and you give the sharks their own voice with funny things like twitter handles. Why do you do that a couple of reasons like number one, if we are getting to abundance in the future it is going to take us all so we open source the tracking to let everyone be involved in the project. Because it creates awareness, people start to understand the sharks we can talk about other issues and build a global Ocean Movement the reason we gave the sharks a voice is because we had to understand do everything that jaws did if we solve the science puzzle and we knew how to manage them but people didnt want to because we were afraid of them, we wouldnt be able to get things going in the right direction. By giving the sharks a voice, people can engage. People start to hear about sharks when theyre all sorts of different places all over and not only when theres an incident it puts everything in perspective. Having said that, with the success we have seen with the comeback of the sharks, im thinking places like cape cod, you are seeing more reports of people engaging with sharks in not a great way, im thinking shark attacks. What do you do to manage the bad pr that comes with that . Were not seeing an increase in shark attacks it is amazing with so many more people in the water. I think people have to be conscious when they go into the water. You know, when we go to the forest, we look around we wouldnt walk out into the wildebeast when the lions are chasing them dont swim into the middle of the food chain the odds are so low in terms of an incident, thats the only thing to make them be aware. Whats been the most exciting, interesting, surprising thing you found in your research while you have been doing this. Really nova scotia in the north atlantic is surprising us with catching and tagging seven sharks there last year, we tagged six and watching them return now i think the vastness, theyre moving from the gulf of st. Lawrence to the Florida Panhandle every year and back. Chris, we appreciate your time it is a pleasure to have you on and hope to talk to you again soon. Thanks for having me.

Several states are tackling the nations Retirement Savings crisis head on california is the latest, requiring Small Businesses to join a statesponsored Retirement Savings program or start offering a private plan. Change is brewing as Senior Personal finance correspondent Sharon Epperson found. Reporter 27yearold Ramone Gonzalez believes in having a game plan at work and for his own finances im saving about 250 a month. Reporter a production supervisor at red bay coffee in oakland, california, he is receiving for his future in a new workplace Retirement Plan called cal savers. I will have a nice lump sum when retirement is over. Reporter red bay is one of the first to enroll its employees in the statesponsored program, allowing private sector employees to save and invest in an individual retirement account at work. We are open to full and parttime employees and soon to those independent contractors or gig workers. Reporter while not a traditional 401 k plan, it is designed to help bridge the savings gap for workers who do not have access to an employersponsored plan. More than 7 million California Workers have no Retirement Savings plan at work twothirds are at Small Businesses with fewer than 100 employees. 49yearold Maria Del CarmenCastillo Vasquez who cleans offices in the San Francisco bay area is now starting to save for her own future and her family. She is very happy that she has this type of savings plan, but she has never had one before. Reporter janacos founder and president lorenzo harris, says he can offer employees including maria a benefit that benefits the employees. Cal savers helps us level the Playing Field when it comes to attract and retain good workers. Reporter they can put away a portion of their pay in an account that, woulds like a roth ira. The contributions are after tax and can be withdrawn in retirement employees are automatically defaulted at a savings rate of 5 that 5 comes directly out of the wages, and an employee can increase that amount, decrease that amount or opt out all together. Reporter most of the employees at Red Bank Coffee are participating in this portable program and if they switch jobs they can take it with them ramo Ramone Gonzalez has no plans to leave the company any time soon but has a plan to build his own personal security. It is good to know i will reap the fruits of my labor later on. Reporter california is among ten states and largest by population to enact the Retirement SavingsProgram Oregon was the first and has enrolled about 70 of workers in its Program Since it started in 2017 there are as many as 55 million workers across the country who do not have access to a Retirement Savings plan at work, becky. From the statesponsored plans, the ones that have been in existence, how have they fared . Theyve fared pretty well they have been building assets gradually, and the issue is really trying to get people involved in saving and disciplined about saving and have it automated. Thats a key part. Oregon is a good example. They have about 23 million in assets over the two years theyve been in existence. Every month, 2 million more in assets. Sharon. Thank you. Good to hear about it. Sharon epperson. Sure. Up next, on the money, the girl scouts are introducing about 40 new badges this year.
