SCOTTSDALE, AZ–(Marketwired – January 27, 2014) – There has always been a silent workforce in America — our kids. Completing home chores for an allowance has been handed down from generation to generation, and our kids (the silent workforce) have learned about work ethic, responsibility and accountability by being able to complete assigned jobs.
Leading the way to help kids achieve success is MyJobChart.com, which today announced that its membership of nearly 600,000 has earned close to $2.5 million by completing over 20 million jobs. Already the fastest growing online job chart and reward system for families, MyJobChart.com has seen its membership grow by more than 900% in the last three years, demonstrating that parents are using modern technology to engage their kids and get jobs done.
“According to the Federal Interagency Forum on Child and Family Statistics there are 74 million kids under 18 years old currently in the U.S.,” noted MyJobChart.com CEO and Founder Gregg Murset. “This is an unbelievable workforce, but more so, it is also our future. It is extremely important that as parents we make sure our kids understand the meaning of work ethic, responsibility, accountability and managing money, so they are best prepared to be successful adults.”
Among the 20 million jobs completed by MyJobChart.com kids, brushing teeth, making beds and getting dressed on time rank at the top of the list. The Top 10 jobs completed are:

As kids complete jobs, MyJobChart.com keeps track of their earned points that they convert into money to save, share or spend. The site allows parents to set up bank accounts to teach the importance of saving; enables kids to share by donating to one of many charitable organizations and offers access to an integrated Amazon.com store where parents can purchase reward items or help kids learn responsible spending. The site doesn’t require financial incentives and parents can also create free rewards, such as a day at the park, extra TV time or a family bike ride.
