    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 am turning 13 and I want a job! I like not having to ask my parents for money. Im going to be in the Capital One Bowl halftime show and I feel bad. I want to help out. Some adults are less responsible than some 13 year olds. I think if a teen wants a job then they should be able to get one. Nobody would be forcing them to!
