JOBS AMONG TEENS
by Asia Johnson
Clothes, gas, and food make up the majority of what Pender high school students spend their money on. Asia Johnson and Adam Pearson made a survey for the students and it came out that exactly half the students spend their money, and the other half save. Jobs consist of Subway, Popo's, Janke Auto, Pender Care Centre, Pender Community Hospital, and many others. Hours range from 5 or less to 25-30 hours a week. Most students say they work about 25-30 hours a week, and enjoy working week nights rather than weekends. According to this bureau, 27% work 10 or fewer weeks per year (most likely during the summer months) 39% work more than 10 weeks per year, and 20 or fewer hours per week, and 34% work more than 10 weeks per year and more than 20 hours per week.
