I would say mowing lawns, but I don't know if that's in as much demand either since no one can afford a home (at all, let alone with a front yard).

Selling weed
This might just be my local area, but there are many teens that are doing a car wash business for money. They advertise on social media, car comes round to their house, person pays teens money. They're going pretty well as based on comments they have many repeat customers.
That's a clever idea! I'd much rather pay a youngling than a corporation
They’ll be ok until the people trafficking gang masters find out that they’re encroaching upon their turf.
Are Saturday jobs still a thing?
Don't you have to be 16 for that?
13, but the hours are restricted depending on age.
Ahhhh TIL
Around me, any places with activities (golf, bowling, climbing, laser quest, gyms, trampoline parks, theme parks, etc), especially if they have a cafe. If they host children's birthdays, it's all done by teenagers it seems.
Fast food places don't seem to have teenagers like they used to, it's mostly older immigrants so guessing they'll work harder for less money.
Legally or anything goes?
My Donald’s and the like? Shorter shifts when younger.
