Kids back then had to keep the furnace stoked, carrying coal to them, carry supplies to the other workers, cleaning up factory and other menial jobs...none terribly taxing on the brain but the hurry up and long hours were difficult on their bodies. Many passed out on the floor but were picked up to get back to work till the end of their time slot.

Just go to google.com and type in the words child labor.
the type of job the children did spinning cotton
Anyone under 14 in the US is extremely limited as to the type of jobs they are legally allowed to perform. You can work for your parents (in a non-dangerous, non-manufacturing job). You can have a paper route. You can make evergreen wreaths (seriously, the labor code specifically mentions this, for some reason). Acting, singing, and modeling jobs are allowed.
That depends on the mind set of the child and the type of music. Generally kids get disturbed by music.
An organization opposing child labor
Job sites are the best place to look for jobs. You search for the type of job you want, in your case labor, and your location. Let them know how far you are willing to travel and they will show you all the available jobs in addition to all the skills required for the job.

Yes, O negative
Child Labor laws sensibly restrict the type of occupation, and the hours of employment, etc,. Statistics are hard to come by. There are such part-time occupations as News vendors, lemonade stands, etc. In rural areas there was a pressing need for short-term unskilled labor- frequently kids filled the bill-ior pail, or trailer, etc and laws were difficult to enforce. For some odd reason the Church fought Child-labor laws- and lobbied against the passage of the Child Labor amendment which almost became constitutional law. I can understand outfits like Burpee seeds ( who employed child- venders on Bicycles) and the newspapers, but why the Churchmen? Child labor almost inevitably leads to abuse- even in sporting circles, little league ball, etc.
When considering the type of books a child should read, you should consider books written for the child's age group, as well as keeping the child's reading and learning levels in mind.
