Can't get hired by McDonald's = Fail?

Summer jobs are non-existent here. My son’s friends are only employed if they had jobs they could return to from last summer–like life guarding. They’ve all applied everywhere, but we are in an area where there have been some factory lay-offs and some reduced work hours so those people are picking up hourly jobs to fill in the gap. If Target can hire an adult who will be around as long as they need them then they aren’t as likely to hire somebody who is leaving town in a couple of months. We have a ridiculous number of fast food restaurants in the area and normally they hire continually–but not anymore. It’s not you–it’s the economy. My son also thought McDonalds would always be there as an option but it’s not.
