Under current law, 14- and 15-year-olds in Wisconsin are prohibited from working most jobs unless they have permission from a parent or guardian and have verified their age with the state Department of Workforce Development. The department can revoke youth work permits at any time if it believes a child’s safety is being threatened.
You know how, back in the middle of the 20th century, women were allowed to work their own jobs for the first time?

Yes, kids will be forced to work. Capitalism will see to it, and we’ve got the history to prove it.
