How much do teen jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 19, 2026, the average hourly pay for teen in the United States is $17.07, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $13.70 and $18.51 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a teen?

In the context of jobs, 'teens' refers to individuals who are typically between the ages of 13 and 19 and are seeking part-time, seasonal, or entry-level work opportunities. These jobs are often designed to accommodate school schedules and may include positions in retail, food service, babysitting, or internships. Working as a teen can help develop valuable skills, gain work experience, and earn extra income. There are legal restrictions on the types of work and number of hours teens can work, which vary by country and region. Employers often require parental consent and compliance with child labor laws.

What types of entry-level jobs or internships are commonly available for teens, and how can I find them?

Teenagers often find opportunities in roles such as retail associate, food service worker, camp counselor, lifeguard, or administrative assistant. Many local businesses, community centers, and larger companies offer part-time positions or summer internships specifically designed for high school students. To find these opportunities, check online job boards like Indeed or Snagajob, visit company websites directly, and inquire at local establishments. School career centers and youth employment programs are also valuable resources. Networking with family, friends, and teachers can further help uncover openings that may not be publicly advertised.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a teen in the workforce, and why are they important?

To thrive as a teen entering the workforce, basic communication, time management, and reliability are essential, usually supported by a willingness to learn and a good academic record. Familiarity with common productivity tools like Microsoft Office or Google Workspace is often beneficial, and some positions may require food handler permits or CPR certification. A positive attitude, adaptability, and teamwork skills help teens distinguish themselves in entry-level roles. These skills and qualities are important because they enable teens to learn quickly, contribute effectively, and build a strong foundation for future career growth.

Where can a teen get a job?

Every state has strict laws and age requirements relating to teenagers and minors engaging in full- or part-time employment. For teenagers who wish to start working, the first step is to ensure that they meet all age and law requirements. It may be against the law for employers to hire teenagers to work certain jobs. For example, a family-friendly restaurant may hire teenagers as wait staff, but a restaurant that serves alcohol may not. Retail, food service, and community caregiving roles such as a Nanny or Day Camp Worker are common avenues for a teenager to get a job.

Common Search & ComparisonYesYes

Teen roles typically involve working with adolescents in educational or community settings, requiring some certifications and a focus on youth development. Child Care Workers focus on caring for younger children in daycare or preschool environments, often needing specific certifications. While both work with children and youth, their work environments and responsibilities differ significantly.
