Question: Can a 13 year old work in a fast food restaurants, or is it only 14 year olds?

Answer: Federal law sets 14 as the youngest age you would be able to work in a fast food restaurant, or most other jobs. Different companies may have different policies on how young they will hire people.

I think teens that are 13 should be able to get a job because 13 is when you grow mature and become a teenager.

it is not fair that the youngest age is fourteen,it should be thirteen because it is when you become more resonsible and you are a young adult.

Well, I work at burger King and over there you must be at least 14 to work. But even then, you can only work so many hours a week because you are a minor under 16.- peace
