I had a job as a jewellery store engraver (and floor cleaner) at 14. It helped me buy my first computer (A Commodore PET with pixel-addressable graphics board) for $1300.
That was the minimum work age, and minimum wage was cheaper for kids under 16. The store owner, who owned his owned plane, liked not having to pay much (I got $2.15 per hour).
I liked having a job, but it didn't interfere with school, and it wasn't hazardous. I do think this law is about getting cheap labor out of immigrant kids in the South.
