I worked in NZ on a youth rate. It was $4.80 in the late 90s. The adult min wage was around $10. There was a team of 5 of us that would come in and clean a factory on Saturday. It worked well for me. I loved the extra money and had no expenses of my own. I now work in the upper tier of a similar factory. I discussed with our operations manager getting in some school aged workers to clean. It doesn't work out to be cost effective. We can just get the guys on the floor to clean up. As the guys on the floor cost the same and have already been trained and issued all the required safety equipment.
