During the Industrial Revolution children worked very long hours in dangerous conditions. They received very little pay for their efforts. Child labor laws oon started to give protection to children and prevented child labor.
Today young people can work in America. The current minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.15.
1)Do you think $7.15 is a fair amount for the minimum wage? If not explain why.
2)What work opportunities would you like to be able to pursue in the summer? Are these opportunities available? What could be done to make them available?
3)Do you plan to work after school or go to college? If you plan to work what sort of career do you intend to pursue?

Eric pen,I don't think 7.15 is fair because people sometimes work hard for no reason and get paid little by little
kowe greer,i think 7.15 is fair because they deserve it
Abrahim fofana
I think 75 is good becouse love of people work for hours
I don't think that $7.15 is a fair amount for minimum wage because the minimum wage that I know is $8.00.The working opportunities that I would like to pursue this summer is probably working at a part-time job with one of my best friends.However,I'm not sure that that job is available(We want to work at a Child's Counselor Ward).I do plan to become a valedictorian and go to college to become a professor/pediatrician.By Yvette Craig 414.

I dont think $7.15 is a fair amount because when your get your check it would probably be around $200.00 then after taxes are tooken out it would probably be around $100.00 and people have alot of responsibilities to take care of.
In the summer i would like to work at a clothing store.Yes these opportunities are available.
Yes i plan to go to college and i plan on going into the fashion industry and be a fashion designer.
devin walker 412 no i think that people should get paid more than 7.15. because some people work to many hours and in the summer i would like to help my aunt clean the house and i want to go to college to become a chef
darrien;[415] I think thats NOT a good amount because I get more then that in a day from my dad so they should give them more money then that.I have a job with my dad so im not lookin for a job in the summer.Im planin to go to college because I want to be a football player when i get older
nibreya kee 411:
~No I don't think that 7.15 is a fair wage,because people should get paid the same amount as the people working high paying jobs.
~I would like to pursue photography and filming during the summer, and yes these opportunities are available.
~I plan on going to college instead of going to work after school.
Mr. Turner i apologize for having this in late but my computer was frozen.
yes i do think 7.15 is an ok amount to pay at first...
in the summer i would like to work more than the amount of hours they say we can i know its crazybut some people need the money,i dont believe the opportunity is available and what i think kids should do is speak up so it can be recognized.i do want to work after college, my heart is in modeling but if that doesnt work the culinary arts is all for me...alexis
