      I mean the point of the article is that these are companies violating the law. Child labor is neither legal or common in the US.

      In the US you can work when you turn 15 if you get permission from your parents and a school guidance counselor.

        15? Apparently, the lowest minimum age is 9, and one state doesn’t have a minimum age. Use the handy little map on this site to find those gems and some other interesting tidbits!
