Job Market Tough On Bay Area Teens

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5 / KCBS) ― Bay Area teenagers are among those feeling the impact of a tightening market for jobs as competition heats up for even part-time work.

If you're able to follow up on that application, or that interview, that impression goes a long way," said Daniel Quon, a youth development specialist with the New Door Ventures program, which hooks up employers with at-risk teens who need work.

Employers across the country cut staffing levels by 63,000 positions last month.
