Thursday. June 30, 1883 Youth Employment Figures Showing Steady Increase, Says Brooks “Based on the 5,942 youth employment certificates (commonly called *work per mits’) which were issued in North Carolina in May, there has been a significant in crease in the number of young people under age 18 who have found employment,” State Labor Commissioner John C. Brooks said today. “This speaks well as yet another indicator of North Carolina’s current economic recovery and growth,” Brooks said, as he compared Uie May issuance with the 4,901 permits issued during the same month in 1962, a 21 per cent increase. The N.C. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Divi sion administers North Carolina’s wage and hour law, which includes youth employment regulations for both full- and part-time workers age 14 through 17. Youth employment cer tificates, which are monitored by the division, are issued by the county social services of fice either in the county where the youth resides or plans to work. “An employment cer tificate is required for all youth age 14 through 17 who want to work, and a new cer tificate must be secured for each new job. This provision in the 1979 Wage and Hour Act was instituted to keep a youth from moving from an authorized non-hazardous job to hazardous work which is prohibited,” Brooks said. “Wage and hour staff review applications for cer tificates to assure that pen ding jobs are in non hazardous work and follow the legal hours-per-day and hours-per-week limits. And, we investigate complaints,” he said. In order to obtain an employment certificate, a youth must complete the following steps: After securing a job, take a birth certificate or driver’s license to the department of social services, where an is suance officer will verify the applicant’s age and initiate the application process; ' ~ Take that application form to the prospective employer, who will identify the propos ed job and work schedule and Twelve Awarded Scholarships DURHAM—TweIve North Carolina residents have been awarded Chancellor’s Scholarships to attend North Carolina Central University.
