"Rising Trend: US States Push for Teen Bartenders Amidst Changing Labor Laws"

Several US states, including Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, New Mexico, Alabama, Wisconsin, and Idaho, have either enacted or introduced laws that would allow minors aged 14 to 17 to serve alcohol and bartend. This trend is driven by businesses and lawmakers seeking solutions to the ongoing labor shortage. The National Restaurant Association has reportedly supported these efforts, although there are concerns about the potential risks and dangers of putting minors in contact with alcohol.

Rising Demand for Young Bartenders Sparks State Legislation

Several states in the United States are considering or have already passed bills to lower the minimum age for serving alcohol, as the restaurant industry faces challenges in hiring workers. However, labor experts warn that this rollback of child labor protection laws puts teenagers at risk of sexual harassment, underage drinking, and other harms. The restaurant industry already has the highest number of child labor law violations. Efforts to loosen child labor protections have been seen in multiple states in recent years, leading to an increase in child labor violations.
