As I recall, child labor laws were USEFUL for kids, at least for relatively well-off kids working retail. It didn't really limit the hours you wanted to work, but it prevented your manager from making you work overnight doing inventory on a school night: "I'd like to help out, Mr. Jenkins, but the law says I need to be done at 10."
