The National Consumers League has pegged these jobs as the most dangerous for kids.
1. Delivery and other driving: including operating or riding on forklifts and other motorized equipment.
2. Working alone in cash-based businesses such as convenience stores, gasoline stations, and fast-food establishments.
3. Traveling youth crews: selling candy, magazine subscriptions, and other consumer goods on street corners, in strange neighborhoods, in distant cities, and across state lines.
4. Cooking — exposure to hot oil and grease, hot water and steam, and hot cooking surfaces.
5. Construction — including work at heights and contact with electrical power.
