Hard to say tight now, Phoenix........very few applications for summer work from high schoolers but marina's and landscapers are desperate for laborers too so a kid can pretty much have a choice. I can understand why pumping gas at the lake or working outside is more attractive than toiling in a hot kitchen.
The economy is pretty good right now and parents are not so anxious for their kids to work and prefer they have time off in the summer. One of my regular summer kids has got a 3 week soccer camp in August. Another kid's parents informed me that they take a family vacation over July 4th week and he won't be working. It's going to be a challenging summer for everyone.
