A movement to weaken American child labor protections at the state level began in 2022. By June 2023, Arkansas, Iowa, New Jersey and New Hampshire had enacted this kind of legislation, and lawmakers in at least another eight states had introduced similar measures.

Party of family value, folks.

Those kids are worth at least 12.50/hour

Why pay them $12.50 when you can pay $7.25?

Why pay $7.25 if you can pay less?
