It used to....back when the minimum wage was only $1.40 farm labor was an attractive alternative for high school kids.
I really don’t see this as a federal issue though. Newt should be running for school board, not president.
It is because of FEDERAL CHILD LABOR LAWS that young children can't be given these jobs. Newt is proposing eliminating some of these stupid child labor laws.
This is a bold proposal. Let's see if any of the other candidates are willing to turn the clock back on some of these stupid laws.
