But in the past two years, child labor laws have entered the crosshairs of some lawmakers. At least 10 states have introduced or passed legislation loosening child labor protections, including New Hampshire. Now, Granite State children as young as 14 can work around alcohol and 16-year-olds can work an almost 40-hour week.
They could expand child labor to early 1900s levels.
Don’t worry, Republicans are making that a reality.
And then make feel good stories about how a child working in the mines pays for his dad’s cancer medicine? Nah that is only this decade’s stuff
