New York Ends Paper Routes for Younger Kids, but the Job Has Mostly Faded Away for Teens
- This month, New York legislators amended the child labor law to prohibit individuals younger than 14 from working on paper routes.
- This change ended a decades-old carveout that let children as young as 11 legally deliver newspapers.
- Although paper routes are a longstanding tradition, no newspapers in New York currently employ young carriers, and the job has largely disappeared.
- Employment law expert Allan Bloom noted that having children deliver newspapers door-to-door is now an outdated practice.
- The law update streamlines minor employment rules and increases penalties, reflecting that paper routes for children have mostly faded across the state.
