And most teenagers don’t work more than 20-25 hours a week.
They would bring home around $600 a month after FICA if they had no other taxes taken out.
For the typical middle class family where the teenager either gets an old beater or a hand me down car where the parents buy a new car, the money they make from working is a wash and the parents let them/make them get a job to foster a work ethic.
