Labor Department backs off new limits on child labor on farms

[raps]

12. Children can work

Pretty much anywhere right now. This would have prevented them from working on farms specifically. In rural farming areas typical youth jobs are quite limited so many work on farms as their first jobs instead of McDonalds or the usual retail outlets. It's good work. It was a protect the children bill, nothing more. And a misdirected one at that.

Where I live there are a ton of farms and they are major employers of the high school kids in the area.
