FinCap Friday: Summer Jobs

For the EdPuzzle version of this activity, click here.

In this FinCap Friday, we go over trends regarding teens working summer jobs. In the past, the summer has been seen as an opportunity to stack up some cash, but trends are showing that the summer is starting to be viewed in a different light! Play this FinCap Friday to find out what some of these new trends in summer teen employment are.

If you're short on time, try our FinCap Friday (No Tech) here! Questions are embedded directly into the slide deck. 

-----------------

Check out all of our FinCap Fridays here. They are not date-dependent, so any of the episodes in our catalog can work throughout the year. 

 

About the Authors

Tim Ranzetta

Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
