On his license, it says Spongebob was born in '86.
Apparently in a newer episode, it was said he started working at the Krusty Krab when he was 16. So this means he started in 2002.
In another episode, it is shown he has 374 employee of the month awards. Divided by 12, this is about 32 years...which means that at the VERY LEAST the show takes place in 2034. That's giving the show the benefit of the doubt by saying the Employee of the Month episode is the 'newest' one to take place.
On Mr. Krabs' license, it says he was born in '42. Which means Mr. Krabs is 92 years old.

DEEPEST LORE
In one episode, SpongeBob mentions how he had to pay Mr Krabs 100$/Hour when he started working at the Krusty Krab. How bad is Bikini Bottom's economy if you have to pay 100 dollars per hour to work at a fast food joint?
>>82684146
That would explain why Spongebob its always relevant
>>82684267
Well seeing how the current stances on minimum wage are....
The training video mentions Krabs becoming depressed after the war, which going by the show's timeline it's not unlikely to think Vietnam. It's a grain of salt anyways if you choose to seriously pursue the worldbuilding details of a twelve minute comedy cartoon anyways.

Does it have any exports to speak of? There's some office jobs from what we've been shown...and A LOT of fast food places...

You've forgotten the fact that Krabs is greedy as fuark and would even have his employees pay him to work.

We literally saw when he started working at the Krusty Krab. He wasn't 16.
