Jefferson’s businesses employ many JHS students Jefferson’s businesses have helped to support high school students in a variety of ways. Scholarships have been provided, for instance. Another form of support has come through the employment of many high school students, who find jobs a way of earning job experience as well as much-needed cash. Students worked at a variety of places, the most common including drug stores, grocery stores, and fast food places. The average student worked between fifteen and twenty hours, although a few worked as many as thirty to thirty-five hours a week. The average pay per hour seemed to hover around the three dollar mark. Jobs ranged from attendant, to cook, to bus boy, to clerk, al- though some of the more unusual jobs included a lab worker. Many students had already held jobs for three years. Lori Block observed, “One of the best things you can get out of a job is the experience of working with other people.” Jefferson businesses made this experience possible.
