Teen's death in Wisconsin sawmill highlights "21st century problem" across U.S.

> Relatedly, a tight labor market has made it harder for meat processors, farms, roofing contractors and other employers to find workers willing to do physically taxing, often low-paying work.

So pay more then? Instead of trapping children in these slaughterhouse jobs and justifying it with a bunch of shit about "building character"?

Seems like more of a 19th century problem that red states are reintroducing.

“in the worst cases, minors would be discovered in grueling jobs like farming or construction.”

This is written by someone who, quite frankly, is almost suicidally stupid.

I would recommend only hiring kids who grew up in farming or construction.

Curtailing parents and employers from training kids in these skills is a recipe for civilizational collapse.
