Manhattan doesn’t put youth employees on a fixed schedule. For example 9-5 shift every week. Manhattan uses a flexible roster to suit people’s studies and activities e.g. sport. What Manhattan does is they do the roster on a weekly basis and staff members have to inform the manager on availabilities. For example if someone has exams coming they have to let someone know just so they don’t get put on a shift. If its ok with the student, they are more then welcome to cut their hours down if, they’ve got exams or HSC.

Since 2008 there has been a decline in employment opportunities for young people. Unemployment rate for young Australians has drifted between 12% and 16%.
But not only does long-term unemployment hurt a young person’s financial and psychological well-being, it could also increase the chances of ongoing unemployment.
Those who experience unemployment while young are more likely to have poor. Earlier research for the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) found more than 20% of those unemployed when they were young were unemployed again after the age of 25.
Low-skilled individuals would be affected the worst by long-term unemployment, because job experience was serious to find work. More than 62% of those unemployed in their youth have not completed high school.
