I actually started this years ago and made it a goal to finish it this year. Goal achieved. I know the title makes this sound boring and there are a lot of pages but it's actually a fairly quick read — and informative. There's lots of charts, lists and bulleted lists, plus subchapters which break things down into manageable chunks. I ordered an older version so, obviously, I'd recommend getting a newer version than I did (mine is 2017) but even this version is a solid reference to labor laws and protections. Honestly, I think this should be provided for high school students definitely college-aged students. I read quite a few things that were eye-opening. I highly recommend it- it's useful and easy to follow.
