Child Labor
Child labor is not an important problem in the Industry. In 1930, 2,213 helpers in motion picture production were reported by the occupation statistics of the Census of Population, but only 93 of these helpers were between the ages of 10 and 17 years. It must be borne in mind that these data refer not to the number actually employed, but rather to the number reporting themselves as belonging, by occupation, to this Industry.
