Youth wage program benefits local teens and employers


Linn County’s youth wage program — where local businesses can get part of their wages for teens reimbursed over the summer by the county government — is in full swing after a year off due to the pandemic. Local businesses are already seeing the benefits and youngsters and business owners alike say the program is good for providing job experience to local high schoolers.
“This is a great opportunity for young people and will help businesses find help,” said Linn County Commissioner Roger Nyquist during the board meeting when the program renewal was granted earlier this year.
The program reimburses local companies $4 per hour if they hire local youths and sign up for the program. This not only helps them recoup the cost of labor, companies also said it can help them meet the rising state minimum wage or offer kids more than the minimum as an added incentive thanks to the financial offset.
