Abstract
Using data from the public school system, this study examines a teen profile of employment and spending. It identifies the employed and unemployed youths, the extent of their labor force participation, and how much money they earn in the labor market. The study also estimates the teens' overall purchasing power and examines how they spend their money. Teens' consumption patterns are differentiated based on their employment status and employment intensity. Major findings reveals that employed teens appeared to spend more on food, drinks and snacks and on clothing and personal care items and less on entertainment and transportation in comparison with those teens who are unemployed.
