Nowhere in the article it mentions it being a summer job.

It's an actual job, fulfilled by literal children (ages 11 and up, also stated in the article). There is nothing wrong with summer jobs, but there sure is something wrong with child labour.

From the article:

“"I was just so bored on the weekends like, you know, it can get really boring there's not much to do in Harden," Poppy said.”

So we can assume it’s not full-time and they are going to school

Thank god it's not a full time job. But still, children should have better to do on the weekend than work in a Jam factory.
