The typical youth workplace in North America’s service society today is likely to be a fast-food restaurant or mall retail outlet. Sixty-eight percent of working youth (ages 16 to 24) in the United States now work in the service and retail sectors (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1996). Many of these youth work in what are commonly referred to as dead-end jobs or McJobs: low-wage, low-skill jobs, frequently characterized by high levels of stress, repetitive tasks, limited opportunities for learning and advancement, great uncertainty in hours and scheduling, and few if any bene?ts. Turnover in these jobs often surpasses 100% per year.
