Rise in Fall Child Labor Appeals Surges Past Last Year
Health Department records show a sharp rise in employment certificates sought by children this fall. In September last year 1300 children age 14 applied. last month the figure topped 2700. Officials cite winter job scarcity for parents as a driver, while marriages decline, though clergy reporting may skew data. An audit will compare Health Department and City Hall licenses to verify reports. Clergy nonreporting is considered unlikely to explain the wedding drop.
