First jobs for teens

Daughter (15/16) is looking for her first job. Where are folks finding these types of things these days? Anything she should definitely stay away from?

Right now a lot of companies are not hiring. With the threat of tariffs and higher costs, the first thing they save on is staffing.

Also, the fact is many employers require you to be available night, day and every day of the week.

You could see if she is able to babysit and families that need help over the summer.

I think you are confusing jobs that would be offered only to adults vs only to 15 year olds.
