What do you mean the laws are different now? Just last year New Hampshire made it so that 15 and 16-year-olds can work 32 hours a week. You haven’t seen the signs for McDonald’s help wanted giving different wages for different ages?

I didn’t know that, I’m a fairly recent import from FL, but they had really lax child labor laws there too. When I was a minor my managers at two different companies regularly broke break schedule laws even though I would remind them I had to take an unpaid break every 4 hours, I’d hit overtime and work overnights at one job because I didn’t have a traditional school schedule and could work different hours. At 16/17 years old. But it’s a little different than 10 year olds hitting the mines, hopefully it never goes to that again at least.

NHPR had an article about it because bosses were pressuring them to work during school.
