According to the <a href="https://franchise.mooyah.com/mooyah-hamburger-franchise-ceo-in-wall-st-journal/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-coo-featured-in-the-wall-street-journal-2711005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MOOYAH Franchise Blog</a>, fewer and fewer young people are looking for after-school and summer jobs in foodservice. While fast casual restaurants were once a popular source of employment for teenagers and college-age adults, the industry is facing a labor crisis as more young people opt for internships or extracurricular activities. Concepts like <a href="https://www.mooyahfranchising.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-coo-featured-in-the-wall-street-journal-2711005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">MOOYAH</a> have instead turned to older workers and retirees to fill roles.&nbsp;Darden said to the <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/summer-youth-unemployment-rate-falls-to-half-century-low-11565975335?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-coo-featured-in-the-wall-street-journal-2711005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wall Street Journal</a>, “We’re no longer in a situation where we can sit back and wait on applications coming in from people who want to work for us. It’s a war for talent.”&nbsp;As a burger franchise dedicated to bettering communities, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/mooyah">MOOYAH</a> wants young people to look at a career with MOOYAH as more than just a summer job. MOOYAH employees learn valuable skills and work experience in an environment that is laid-back, friendly and fun. However, the brand is also supportive of teenagers in any community striving to pursue their own academic, extracurricular or career-driven interests.&nbsp;Darden encourages MOOYAH franchise owners to recognize team members for their hard work, like this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNgwJdfJu5U&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-coo-featured-in-the-wall-street-journal-2711005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Baton Rouge, Louisiana employee</a> Trina Lockadoo.To read more on MOOYAH’s mission to serve franchise owners and employees alike, read the full story <a href="https://franchise.mooyah.com/mooyah-hamburger-franchise-ceo-in-wall-st-journal/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=mooyah-coo-featured-in-the-wall-street-journal-2711005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here.</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;
