House Democrats on July 18 announced that they were launching a task force to investigate the startling rise in children found working in violation of labor laws across the United States.

“Our country is facing a child labor crisis,” Rep. Dan Kildee (D-Mich.) said in his opening remarks at a press conference announcing the launch. “Recent reporting has shown child labor violations are growing at an alarming rate, while companies very often are quite complicit.”
