heads.

"You guys all worked last year, correct?"

Surprisingly, while the nation's economy may have cooled, -- the summer
job market is red hot -- especially for the traditional work like
amusement parks and restaurants which employed 15 million kids last
summer.
At Dorney Park in Pennsylvania -- some 3-thousand summer spots were open
-- giving students the luxury of being picky.
(SOT/DANA SHANABERGER, COLLEGE JUNIOR)
"It's a lot more fun to work here than at other jobs."

But experts warn summer work isn't immune from a slumping economy --
just the last to be hit. Which could leave today's more finicky job
seekers, out of luck, and out of work.
(SOT/MARILYN MACKES, NAT'L ASSOC OF COLLEGES AND EMPLOYERS)
"The students have to be a little bit more flexible in their thinking
about what they are willing to be looking at."

A recent survey showed that while 27 percent of the nation's companies
planned on ADDING staff this summer -- 9 percent are cutting back.

Manufacturing jobs are taking the biggest hit -- along with hi-tech and
agricultural jobs.
But at this week's job fair in New york, the line was longer than ever
-- and recruiters fear student's confidence is ahead of what the market
will bear.
(SOT/VITO CARDINALE, XEROX CO.)
"These kids today, coming in and saying, ya know, what's your 401-k
