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 am disappointed that the "LAW" won't let 13 year olds work because some parents might need a little extra cash and the kids would maybe want to help but the unfair law says no.Some people under the of 16 can mature and get some cash!! We would like to go places and get stuff to relie on themselves.We dont always need we're parents to give them money to get some clothes pay a friend back.I think we should have the freedom to work and make money.My opinion is that we can mature and make money!!Someone SHOULD start a petetion on how we need a little more freedom.We could get some responsiblity!
