These jobs are great for the economy too. Office jobs aren't the only ones that count. Someone still needs to take out the trash, and for some people, that's all their qualified/capable of doing. Having a boom in these sectors (which is caused by a boom in "better" sectors of industry) just make working conditions and salary better for them.

Well, if you think about the longer term, that may not be so great. While these kids are out making 'obsecene amounts of money' ($8-9 hr? Wowee) they aren't getting much of an edjumacation and are passing up the opportunities available in higher-skilled jobs ($20-30 an hour and up) that if they stayed in school would be available.
IMO opinion these are not jobs that are great for the economy, they ADD very little to the economy, but are more a result of a great economy. You can't build an economy on a foundation of burger-flippers, but on well educated group of youth? That is another story
