quote of the day



"Kids from higher income households just aren't going into the labor market.
They're looking for things to put on résumés, and working at Dairy Queen or
Wal-Mart just isn't going to help you get into Wake Forest or Stanford. And
they just don't need the cash."
- MARK ZANDI, chief economist at Moody's Economy.com, on the decline in
teenage employment.
