Michigan Teens are Clocking In: How to Hire and Inspire Summer Workers for Seasons to Come5/31/2024  For many teenagers, the classic summer experience is class-free but on-the-clock. In Michigan, about 250,000 teens are ready to apply for summer jobs, as 16-19-year-olds nationwide enter the workforce in rising numbers.
This year, Michigan students who want a summer job have extraordinarily good chances of finding one. Recent data from the Michigan Center for Data Analytics shows that teen employment levels are dropping after reaching 23.6% in the summer of 2020. With nearly half of Michigan teens predicted to look for work this summer, only 11.6% of teens will come away empty-scheduled, down from 13.7% in 2023.

 Sometimes the star of the show never steps on the stage. While the Amway Grand Plaza is known for delivering an encore-worthy experience for guests, with historic ballrooms, gilded staircases, and luxury rooms, behind-the-scenes employees like Joel Berghorst are the reason the show runs smoothly and spectacularly.
As the Director of Rooms for the Amway Grand Plaza in Grand Rapids, Joel plays a vital role in the hotel’s key audience: conventions and business groups, which accounts for more than half of the hotel’s clientele – which means this is a role that requires some major talent. Nominated because of his painstaking attention to detail and customer service, this Star of the Industry Award winner has earned the best kind of reputation for himself.  As temperatures heat up, so will the threshold for overtime qualifications.
On April 23, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) threw a curveball into the summer plans of hotels across the nation. Effective July 1, a new rule would dramatically increase the threshold for overtime pay so that all employees, salaried or hourly, would be eligible for overtime if they make up to $43,888 per year. But that’s not all. The threshold jumps even higher on January 1, 2025, when employees making up to $58,656 become eligible for overtime pay. |
