Looking at Teens in the Labor Force

In honor of Labor Day, Karen Jensen at School Library Journal's Teen Librarian Toolbox blog recently published a post looking at statistics about teens in the labor force. She really breaks down what has been happening in the last few years - from the effects of COVID to child labor law protections being removed to a stagnant minimum wage - and raises some important issues.
