A movement to weaken American child labor protections at the state level began in 2022. By June 2023, Arkansas, Iowa, New Jersey and New Hampshire had enacted this kind of legislation, and lawmakers in at least another eight states had introduced similar measures.
I’m not surprised at three of the four states, but New Jersey? WTH.
I wasn’t expecting New Hampshire either. Honestly surprised it’s not any of the deep south states.
Florida will probably be next, what with how they are deliberately driving migrants out of the state despite relying heavily on them.
New Hampshire is becoming full of Trump worshippers unfortunately, outside of the heavily populated areas
New Hampshire has always had a libertarian streak, so they sometimes push rightwards on economic issues.
