Young men at work

There are a lot of young men in a factory working on glass. They have dirty and ripped clothes. The looks on some of their faces tell me they are tired and they must have a lot of long hard hours in this factory.

Children Working

Children here are working on stringing beans. This looks like a very condensed place where there are a lot of children working here. The oldest they look is maybe 10. Most of them look younger than this. It's not just aimed for only girls or only boys, they are all working together.

Family making garters

This looks like maybe an entire family working on making garters in their own home. This tells me that people didn't just work at factories, but at home as well. Children are still working though so child labor laws have not taken place.

This boy is working in a shrimp picker factory. He does not have any shoes and appears to have very dirty clothes. They had very young kids doing dirty jobs.

Boys working in a bowling alley

These boys are working in a bowling alley and don't seem to be in a safe environment. They might get hit by pins or the balls if they aren't cautious enough. The youngest they look seem to be 8. This tells me they don't care to much about safety and the fact that children are working super late at night.

5 year old boy selling papers

This is a little boy is holding papers to sell. The paper is half this boys size. He seems to be outside a store. This tells me that they didn't care how old they were if they could walk they could work.
