How did high school students' experiences of work change between the first and second half of the twentieth century?
What will be an ideal response?
In the first half of the twentieth century, the typical student did not proceed beyond the eighth grade and most
adolescents were working in full-time jobs by the time they were 15 years old. Only a minority of students from
affluent families attended high school and it was unusual for them to work. As high school attendance became
more nearly universal, the proportion of less affluent adolescents in high schools rose and part-time work among
high school students became more common. Supporting this trend was the emergence of jobs that were suitable for
relatively unskilled labor, such as service jobs in fast-food restaurants and retail chains.
