Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Teenagers are more vulnerable than adults. Compared to adults they have less job experience, an employer is likely to always go for the employee with work experiences. The teenager who just entered the labor market is at a disadvantage and will have a more difficult time searching for a job than an adult with a history of work experience. In situations of economic downturns, a teenager is likely to be laid off than the adult because of the cost of investing in them for training purposes.
