And teenagers are suffering a kind of push-down effect of the bad economy: older workers are returning to the job market, the laid-off are settling for jobs they might once have thought beneath them and college students unable to find better work are hanging onto jobs that used to go to high school students, squeezing out the youngest workers.

heh. i just got my fiiirst ever job. i'm a 20 year old college student... working at dairy queen. so that definately applies to me. i'm hoping the economy will pick up in 2 years when i graduate.. i wanted to be a graphic designer mainly to put my art in a practical job field and i heard that it was in high demand, but very competitive... and it may still be competitive, but only bcos there are more graphic designers than there are jobs.. some alumni came into one of my classes last term and said she was laid off and unemployed. and she seemed like she was one of the goood students. and that's encouraging....
