Teens charge as much as $70 per hour for summer jobs due to labor shortage | New York Post

He is 16, going on $70 an hour.

Last summer, Alex Bank worked nine-hour shifts as a busboy in the high-energy dining room at now-shuttered power-crowd institution Babette’s in East Hampton. The job, which paid $17 per hour, was stressful at times, but it built character, Bank said. And it only just paid the bills. To indulge his love of lobster rolls at East Hampton Grill, or to afford the occasional sushi dinner, he would end up working overtime. That, or ask his parents for money.

Alex Bank works as a basketball coach charging up to $70 an hour. Last summer, he made under $20 an hour working at a restaurant.
