    Question: What are the laws concerning jobs for 13-year olds?

    Answer: The Fair Labor Standards Act states that the minimum age for employment is 14 years old. A 14-year old that is a full-time student would be allowed to work in a retail establishment as long as the employer has obtained certifications from the Department of Labor. A business could be fined $10,000 for hiring someone under the age of 14. The age requirements for agricultural employment are slightly different.

    I do not think it is fair that us 13 year olds can not get a job.As a teenager we should have the opportunity to get a job.I have been trying to get a cell phone for the past two months but I do not have the money to pay the bill.I have called several places but they have all said 16. I have 2 younger siblings and I do not get money as often as I used to.now I do not get an allowance I just get money when I truly need it.
