Florida considers easing child labor laws, allowing 14-year-olds overnight shifts, amid labor shortages.

Florida's legislature is considering a bill to relax child labor laws, allowing 14-year-olds to work overnight shifts, in response to labor shortages following the departure of undocumented immigrants. Governor Ron DeSantis supports the measure, but economists warn it could worsen inflation and labor shortages. The state has seen a nearly threefold increase in child labor violations in recent years.
