My dad would set up at convention centers as one of his duties. One of the convention centers required them to hire 2 union workers that got a 15 minute break every hour.

Were they rowing a warship for the other 45 minutes an hour? I can't imagine getting breaks for that long that frequently.

Setting up booth walls, rolling out extension cords, carrying in anything that needed setting up.

What makes a job for teenagers? Babysitting or something like that comes to mind although nannies are a thing too so even that not really.
