Now, I'm all for youth employment, but isn't it more important that family providers and people trying to support themselves have SOME kind of job. It does suck that kids are having trouble finding jobs but I would rather that then have parents under employed or RCGs unable to get any work at all.

Though I am reminded of a kid I knew in high school that *was* the primary bread winner because his mom was totally worthless, and it would have really sucked if he couldn't work. There should be a way to prove that you're in that kind of situation... sort of like how you can get a driver's license a couple years early if you can show that your family really needs you to be able to drive.
