Under the following circumstances, child labor is legal. First, of all, in Mississippi, it is illegal to hire anyone under the age of six to any business. In all states it is legal as long as he or she is at least four years old (except for Mississippi, shockingly). In 5 states and two cities: Mississippi, Delaware, Rhode Island, Washington D.C. City limits, Maine, and Chicago, child labor is legal as long as it is not forced, and the minimum wage is at least $9.49 per hour. So it is legal everywhere in the United States except for Mississippi. You must be at least twenty to work in Mississippi in a place of business unless it is just a farm.
