State lawmakers have especially important roles to play in addressing the urgent need to protect youth workers in dangerous jobs like agriculture, meatpacking, and construction. https://www.epi.org/blog/as-some-states-attack-child-labor-protections-other-states-are-strengthening-standards/?

I wonder if allowing 16-17 year olds to work more hours would have a positive impact. Not nearly the time or energy to get into trouble out of boredom. I will have to ask my boys, they worked more than a 40 hour week during summers in their teens. Never drugs, alcohol or delinquency with four boys. phkrause 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
