Child labor to the rescue!

Plenty of people apparently do want a return to the time and place of, say, Charles Dickens. Do they ever listen to themselves at all?
One would never have thought that a “Year in Review” — almost a quarter of the way through the 21st century — would be discussing the growing scourge of child labor. The 19th century, maybe. But 2023? Really?

Yes, really.

Not only that, but some of the discussion around child labor is not focused on how to eliminate it, but how to increase it.

Yes, really...

The combination of a tight labor market, an abundant supply of kids — especially immigrant kids — needing jobs, low penalties and lack of enforcement resources are fueling the rise of child labor. - DC Report
