The reason is because employers doesn't want to deal with all the paper work for under age kids. ( under 16-17) Our economy is really at the down low now with people willing to pay minimal wage for people with no experience instead of chipping out that extra $0.25 A Great example is Gamestop, I used to work there when I was 17-18 thanks to the manger who I knew personally and I would work my A$S off for 6 hours just to be grateful I had the job. 6-7 months later I get a raise of $0.15 plus my minimal wage and a month after that I get laid off no reason why as I've never had a complaint against me and knew practically everyone who came to the store and treated them like good friends. Later I found out my manger quit and found out he was the manger to a Sony store nearby. I came to visit him and had a chat just to find out The reason I got laid off with 3 more people was because Gamestop general district decided to hire people with no experience who was willing to take that minimal wage. This is how F-Up USA really is just to save a little they are willing to do anything.

I need some help on how to make some extra cash. I know that I'm going to have to work hard. I would get a job, but I'm 14. My parents give me money, but not that often (which is completely understandable). If it helps, I live in the United States.
The only job option for you I know from my friend experience is either working with a relative who owns a small business, a car wash, I think those small workshops in a community hires as my friend when he was 13 got a job cleaning the neighborhood and venues, and or those ads revue online which probably won't net you as much

Other than that save what you get from your parents as I did back than and the most I've ever got in a month is $5. I wish you luck finding a job man! :happyguy:
