- New York changed its law in May 2025 to prohibit anyone under 14 from working paper routes statewide.
- The update ended a decades-old exception that allowed children as young as 11 to deliver newspapers legally.
- Lawmakers made the revision as part of a broader child labor update, while newspapers acknowledge youth carriers are rare today.
- Employment lawyer Allan Bloom observed that having children deliver newspapers door to door is now outdated, highlighting the decline of such jobs.
- This change formalizes the fading tradition and may influence child labor enforcement and minor employment practices statewide.
