Five worst teen jobs
The National Consumers League has released its list of what it calls the five worst teen jobs due to the risk of death or injury involved.
Here’s the list:
1. Agriculture: Fieldwork and processing.
2. Construction and working at heights.
3. Outside helper: Landscaping, groundskeeping, lawn service.
4. Driver/operator: Forklifts, tractors and ATVs.
5. Traveling youth sales crews.
The NCL says the list is based on government statistics and reports, state labor information and news accounts of injuries and deaths. It says a young worker is injured on the job in the U.S. every two minutes and a teen dies due to workplace injury every five days.
