My point, which was clear, is that retail jobs especially, but even fast food are not helmed by a majority of teenagers. While there are a lot of teenagers, it’s not accurate to portray them as jobs normally done by teenagers - workers are more likely to be 20+ and out of high school when you look at the numbers.

Your point is that we have to average in the degreed and experienced store and department managers, even though the jobs we are talking are the $15/hour entry level jobs.

What is the average age of bottom tier, entry level workers? 75? 106? 20? Make a guess. What age group is looking for a $15/hour job? 50 year old men with three kids and a mortgage?

Good example of how statistics can be misused.

also remember when quoting averages, there are child labor laws.
