Federal and State Child Labor Laws
Most states have child labor laws. A few states solely rely on the federal laws found in the FLSA. State child labor laws may be more restrictive or less restrictive than the federal child labor laws (FLSA). In other words, states may have different minimum ages for employment, different hours of work restrictions, and additional occupations identified as hazardous.
If the employment falls under FLSA jurisdiction, then both federal and state laws apply--and the most restrictive law (whether it is the state or the federal) is followed.

Home Means Nevada
Written & Music by Bertha Raffetto
Way out in the land of the setting sun,
Where the wind blows wild and free,
There's a lovely spot, just the only one
That means home sweet home to me.
If you follow the old Kit Carson trail,
Until desert meets the hills,
Oh you certainly will agree with me,
It's the place of a thousand thrills.
Home means Nevada
Home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the pine.
Out by the Truckee, silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines,
Here is the land which I love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Deep in the heart of the golden west
Home means Nevada to me.
Whenever the sun at the close of day,
Colors all the western sky,
Oh my heart returns to the desert grey
And the mountains tow'ring high.
Where the moon beams play in shadowed glen,
With the spotted fawn and doe,
All the live long night until morning light,
Is the loveliest place I know.
Home means Nevada
Home means the hills,
Home means the sage and the pines.
Out by the Truckee's silvery rills,
Out where the sun always shines,
There is the land that I love the best,
Fairer than all I can see.
Right in the heart of the golden west
Home means Nevada to me.

What is the longest mountain range in Nevada?
The longest mountain range which is at least in part within the state of Nevada is the Sierra Nevada including the Lake Tahoe area shared with the state of California. However, the longest mountain named range entirely within Nevada, is the Toiyabe Range, based on the official naming by the US Board of Geographic Names. The Toiyabe Range extends about 135 miles from near Tonopah to the Humboldt River. The adjacent ranges to the west are named the Shoshone Range and Shoshone Mountains, and these ranges are geologically linked, but if these Shoshone mountains/range were to be considered one named range then the resulting range would be slightly longer than the Toiyabe Range. Most of Nevada is characterized by basin-and-range geology with horst-graben faulting and ranges extend mostly north and south. There are several mountain ranges in Nevada where one could walk for more than 50 miles in one general direction without crossing a road.
