佛罗里达州考虑提高青少年在劳动力短缺情况下的工作时间限制,引发辩论。 Florida considers raising work hour limits for teens amid labor shortages, sparking debate.

佛罗里达州立法者正在考虑立法,允许16岁者工作超过目前每周30小时的上限,包括更长时间的夜间上课时间。 Florida lawmakers are considering legislation that would allow 16-year-olds to work more than the current 30-hour weekly cap, including longer hours on school nights. 提议的修改还旨在放宽对在家上学或提前毕业的14岁工作的人的限制。 Proposed changes also aim to loosen restrictions on 14-year-olds working if they are homeschooled or have graduated early. 支持者说这些变化解决了劳动力短缺问题, 但批评者担心这会导致长期的低薪工人阶级, 并对学生的学业成绩产生不利影响。 Supporters say the changes address a labor shortage, but critics fear it will lead to a permanent underclass of low-wage workers and negatively impact students' academic success. 由于主要立法者明确表示保留意见,立法的命运仍然不确定。 The legislation's fate remains uncertain as key lawmakers express reservations.
