Where can a 14-year-old get a job in Brooklyn?

What is Brooklyn, NY like and how is the job market?

• The question may seem like I need an answer for a school project - but it's actually for personal use. I can look up on Answers to see what the monthly bills will run me, so this question is merely asking about the job market. I come from Michigan, and there are zero jobs here. I want to move to New York - but I don't want to make the long haul if the job market sucks over there also. If an average single family person (just one adult) gets an average job and lives in Brooklyn, NY, Will that average person be able to live and make it in Brooklyn, NY? Is it easy to get a job - especially if you work hard to find one? Or is it to the point where no one is hiring and there are virtually no jobs available? (Hard to imagine in a huge city like that but it's always good to ask.) Also, any information and opinions on what Brooklyn, NY is like would be helpful! I could look up statistics again, but they don't help as much as personal experiences do. Thanks to all who answer this. As I said before, this isn't asking about expenses per month. It's asking about how the job market is - and if a single person would be able to live and pay for expenses while living in Brooklyn, while having an average job in New York.

• Answer:

  Well, your question is somewhat vague, but here goes. Brooklyn is huge, so it all depends on which part of the borough you want to live in. Certain parts, like Williamsburg, or Park Slope, or even Greenpoint can rival the rent you would expect to pay in Manhattan, so think lots of hipsters. Other neighborhoods can be cheaper, but at a cost. Do you wanna live among Hassidic Jews, then check out Borough Park. like circus freaks? then check out coney island. Like a Caribbean vibe, check out Flatbush Ave. or Prospect Pk. area. Like Russians? Check out Brighton beach. What kind of job do you want? You can find anything from flipping burgers and up... Again, very vague Q.
