Not enough jobs for high schoo kids is not an issue that needs solving.

I'm kind of confused by your post. If lack of entry level jobs becomes a problem, as we've seen in Europe, then those fortunate enough to get those jobs will absolutely have a leg up for the next rung.
Maybe things have changed radically in the 5 years since I graduated University and got my big boy job but having previous work experience was critical to getting hired. People don't just waltz in to the 100k jobs that everyone desires without any previous experience, it's important to show that you can handle responsibility and working with others. Maybe you were saying something different idk but if you're arguing against that progression still being real and frankly necessary then I guess I just strongly disagree.
