New Jersey enters its third summer of a working papers online process for minors that is easy, hassle-free, and successful, says the NJ Labor Commissioner.

Through those orders, agents found nearly $1 million in back wages owed to 235 workers, the department said.

The measure, which is sponsored by legislators on both sides of the political aisle, also calls for any reports to mention major issues that had been uncovered over the prior four quarters, as well as possible solutions.

Employment increases were recorded in all major private-industry sectors. Public sector employment dipped by 1,200 jobs.
