I am sure there are industries your son could get into, it's just the luck of the draw really all i can say is keep him motivated to his search for work. How far is he prepared to travel? possibly the next town? Kids have the same here where i live where the traditional industries have either relocated to china or gone altogether.
He will travel where he needs to, but it will have to be on public transport0 -
I wish your son luck in finding a job.

I'm not very good at succinct. Why say something in 10 words when 100 will do?

When I left school most of those sort of places near my home didn't want someone like me as they required experience, which obviously as someone looking for my first job I didn't have! My first proper job was in an office which didn't want any experience, they just wanted someone with working fingers to press the photocopier buttons...
Having worked at least 30 hours a week since the age of 15 I find this very very hard to believe. For a start, 18 year olds are cheap and easier to train than older adults

Take a look at the 'support each other looking for a job' thread, lots of will, very little way.:heartpulsSpoiling my two baby girls with love - it's free and it's fun!:heartpuls
