    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 think that kids should have a job at 13. Cause when people gripe that children are always out 2 make trouble, but if they had a job they would be more worried about their job and money. So George W. Bush you should think about letting kids have a job at 13.

    I wud love to get a job in mi community but all the managers of all the decent jobs are too skittish and they dont want to hire a person who doesnt have facial hair or whos voice hasnt broken. In mi opinion, 14 year olds are less reliable than 13 year olds. Thank-you-very-much.
