    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.

    Yeah I mean people would you rather see me doing drugs and alchohal or getting an education and actually useing it! Well what do you think all you law people. Because you know some of us can't afford to pay even the smallest amount to get into a sport! Hello that money goes into food an rent! Get a clue here. So you say do something free like street sports. Thats where you get into trouble! So just take us seriously and take us off the streets and into the real world! We need to learn sometime. Its your choice to help or fight, you choose drugs or well earned Money. We deserve RESPECT!YA

    There are so many jobs available for teenagers, but 13 year olds are more enthusiastic than 14 year olds, so why not move the limit a year down?
