Two interesting numbers about teenagers

Percentage of Americans who were paid to babysit as teenagers: 56

Who say they would trust a teenager to babysit today: 11

Numbers from the June issue of Harper's magazine.  As phrased it's not clear to me whether the 11% is of Americans or of Americans who babysat as teenagers.  In either case the discrepancy is striking.
