Child+Labor

​ **__Child Labor__** Child labor is wrong. Child labor is wrong because it is taking advantage of young children. Big companies are taking advantage of these young children because it is inexpensive to have them working in their factories. These kids were working in these factories often so they could eat at night. Instead of hiring a certified adult, companies hired children to work for pennies a day. These kids were expected to carry out long shifts with minimal breaks. Not only were these kids working long days, but they were expected to complete the daily tasks of an adult worker. Along with the daily struggle of completing their days tasks, they worked in horrible conditions. Every day they were in danger of injury from hazradous machines, fires, and often abusive bosses. In every aspect, child labor was wrong during the industrial revolution. []
