    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.

    Yes, because the only way we can get money is if we ask our parents, and some of them dont have alot of money as it is. If we get a job it will keep us kids off the streets, from doing drugs, and other stuff like that. The most we can do is babysit and you can't make enough money off of that to get the stuff you want.
