Yes, there is child labour in the United States, however it is less common than in a 3rd world countries. For example, there are children working in agriculture (farms) where they work with harmful pesticides. A 1990 survey found that more than one third of Mexican American children working in the New York farms have been sprayed with pesticides. Furthermore, one is wrong if s/he thinks that child labour only happens in poor third world countries. Child labour, to a lesser degree, takes place in developed countries as well.
