Labor Force
[edit] please help me understand this....
"However, child labor laws forbid businesses from employing people between the ages of 16 and 18 in hazardous jobs." I don't understand what it means. I thought when a person turns 18, that person is officially an adult. When you are an adult, you can work in hazardous jobs. Does that mean when you turn 18 you can't work in a hazardous jobs? The military is a hazardous job but you can be in the military at age 18. That doesn't make sense. (209.177.21.6 - talk)
