Bill aiming to loosen work limits for N.H. teenagers heads to Sununu's desk

New Hampshire’s 16- and 17-year-olds will have fewer restrictions on their weekly working limits if the governor signs a bill passed by the Legislature on Wednesday.

Senate Bill 318 raises hourly working caps for the age group during the school week.

Currently, 16- and 17-year-olds are limited to 30 hours a week and no more than six consecutive work days anytime school is in session.

The new bill would introduce a stratified system depending on how many days of school are in a particular week. For five-day school weeks, the limit would remain at 30 hours, but four-day weeks would allow for up to 40¼ hours of work and two- or three-day weeks would allow for up to 48 hours.

people already complain that kids don't get enough sleep, and that the school days is itself stressful..... Now, the wealthy want to use them up for low wage labor while they are young, and by the time they become 40 yrs old, their bodies will be worn out and broken down.....

If you think that's a joke... go to many rural areas and look at all the broke down people, who have not yet turned 50, and many of those who spent their lives being macho man, in some hard labor job, are broken down by the time they reach 50, and by 55 some of them look as if they've aged past the 70 yrs old mark.

When people all for anything, they will be given anything, because they will fall for it.
