Oh dude, it's getting bad. A certain political party feels that child labor is the panacea to the "no one wants to work" problem. Ask a person if they'd flip burgers for $100k a year and you'll see that the problem isn't people not wanting to work, it's people not getting paid enough to live. The latest report shows that 65% of Americans are living paycheck-to-paycheck and it's not a simple "stop eating avocado toast" when federal minimum wage is $7.25. That's $15,080 a year. Average rent for America is $1,326/month. Rent alone for the year is $15,912. So you can see how things are failing spectacularly. What we're seeing now is the crop almost getting ready for harvest from the seeds sowed by Reaganomics.
Alright, that's my once a decade rant on politics...
