资格不够，只能以回帖代花。

查到 2022年11月 华盛顿邮报 文章（https://www.washingtonpost.com/made-by-history/2022/11/01/child-labor-agriculture/）节抄如下

大意是：

美国法律允许 农场 雇佣 童工 ：10岁以上儿童可雇为半时工（part time）；12岁以上儿童可雇为全时工（full time）；这些童工多为有色人种和移民家庭；美联邦政府 虽有法律 禁止在‘危险行业’雇佣儿童，但不包括农业。所以农业童工面临多重危险：机械，农药，高温，等。每年约有十万农业童工受伤；农工 工伤死亡人数中20%是童工。据美 ”全国乡村农业儿童健康安全中心“报告（https://marshfieldresearch.org/Media/Default/NFMC/PDFs/ChildAgInjuryFactsheet2020.pdf），每3天就有一名儿童死亡。

The exemptions made in the FLSA still apply today so child labor remains the status quo in agriculture where children as young as 10 can work part-time and children aged 12 can work full-time. The children come from predominantly immigrant and non-White backgrounds — and their work remains exempt from a federal ban on children working in “hazardous” occupations. Child agricultural workers are exposed to dangerous machines, extreme heat and pesticides; when the EPA determines the safety of substances, it does not consider the presence of children and the lower tolerances of smaller bodies. One hundred thousand child farmworkers are estimated to be injured on the job each year and children represent 20 percent of farming fatalities: a child dies every three days in U.S. agriculture, according to the National Children’s Center for Rural and Agricultural Health and Safety.
