Teens squeezed out of summer work
Tuesday 2nd June, 2026
US teens are facing the weakest summer job market since 1948, pushing them into fierce competition for roles like lifeguarding and ice‑cream scooping while traditional teen hirers pull back. This gives Lego a chance to talk about youth skill-building and safe, creative summer activities—your products and programmes naturally help teens gain transferable skills, keep active locally, and stay engaged when paid jobs are scarce in the US and beyond.
