Children are working some of the most dangerous jobs in the U.S. according to a new investigation by The New York Times.Child labor violations have nearly quadrupled since 2015, according to data from the Labor Department. This includes some migrant children who are working throughout the manufacturing industry. Interviews with 60 caseworkers found that two-thirds of unaccompanied migrant children end up working full-time. Even with those statistics, some states are still looking to loosen child labor restrictions to meet hiring needs.We discuss how we got here and what needs to be done to address child labor violations.Want to support 1A?
