Question

I am writing a compare and contrast essay for my English course on Employed Students vs. Unemployed Students. I am having trouble with the two body paragraphs.
Paragraph 1: similarities
Paragraph 2: differences
I'm not asking for anyone to write the paragraphs for me, I just need help with the similarities and differences to write about, can someone please give me any ideas? and ideas will help, please :(
Also if someone can check my introduction, just to make sure it its written well, or if there are any grammar issues or wrong punctuations
My Introduction Paragraph:
Many students in high school hold a job whether it be in a fast food restaurant, or a grocery store. While some think that having a job is good to have while being in school, some wait till after their education years to work. The amount of teens having a job has gone down since the 1970s. From 1975 the percentage of teens working went from around 75% to 55% in 2014. Both students working and students unemployed share a want to have a great, well provided life; however students who have a job may find it harder to focus on their studies, while students who are unemployed may have a better time focusing on their studies.

Answer 1

For similarities, you could talk about how the stress of school, parents, peer pressure, etc. for differences, you could talk about the parents money, students money, and the difficulty of spare time with friends and siblings? is this helpful?
