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.

It is soo unfair that thirteen year olds can't work!! We are fully capable of doing anything a 14 year old can do. If they are worried about us being immature, they shouldn't be, because obviously any 13 year old who is willing to work a job is pretty mature! I would suggest jobs around the neighborhood like babysitting, yard work, and pet care.
