Bon, c’est sur le transport maritime et aux États-Unis, mais, bon…

The White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs is seeking public input on how the federal government can reduce the regulatory burdens imposed on the maritime sector as part of the Trump Administration’s broad plan to deregulate American industries.

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) posted the public Request for Information (RFI) last week.

Federal agencies involved in regulating the U.S. maritime industry include the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC), the Department of Transportation and U.S. Maritime Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, which includes the U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of Defense, the Department of Labor, the Department of Commerce, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Council on Environmental Quality, and the Department of the Interior.

These maps, which come from a 1933 Department of Labor report on child labor, document the uneven effects of state laws regulating the employment of children and teenagers.

During the first decades of the 20th century, progressives sought to regulate what they saw as exploitative employment of poor and immigrant children. Photographers such as Lewis Hine documented impossibly tiny newsboys, textile workers, and field hands, making a visual appeal to middle-class Americans, who were properly horrified.

When Congress tried to regulate child labor on the federal level by passing the Keating-Owen Act of 1916, the Supreme Court ruled the effort unconstitutional. Advocates stepped in and passed a patchwork of laws on the state level. (The Fair Labor Standards Act, passed in 1938, was the first successful federal law to regulate child labor.)

U.S. jobless rate falls to nine-year low, payrolls rise | Reuters

The U.S. unemployment rate fell to a nine-year low of 4.6 percent in November, as employers added another 178,000 jobs, making it almost certain that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates later this month.

The unemployment rate hit its lowest level since August 2007 because more people found work but also because the labor force shrank as more people retired, lowering the number of working-age people in the labor force to 62.7 percent.

U.S. nonfarm payrolls increased by 178,000 jobs last month after increasing by 142,000 in October, the Labor Department said on Friday.

According to the latest jobs numbers, issued by the Labor Department on January 6, the U.S. unemployment rate has dropped to 8.5 percent, down from 10 percent in 2009. The Great Recession has claimed more than 8.5 million jobs since 2007, and even though the current trajectory of the U.S. appears to be toward recovery, Americans are still struggling to find work. Nine of the photographs below appear in The Atlantic’s January/February 2012 print issue, and I’ve added 25 more here to round out a collection of images from these years of uncertainty — of men and women both at work and out of work in the United States.
