    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.

    im thirteen and i really think we deserve to be able to work. just b/c youre 14, doesn't mean that youre neccesarily responsible enough and i dont know about anyone elses but my parents have always like worked so hard and it really makes me feel useless b/c i cant do anything to help out. All i do is spend and i hate wasting time. i have always been one to strive to be ahead of the game and sitting at home watching tv and waiting for the library to get better and more books makes me feel really stupid. is there anything that can be done to change that?

    Iam 13 going on 14 and I cant find a realible job with good pay I think its unfair that 13 yr olds cant find a realible job people still think we are not mature and treat us like kids I think you get your maturate when your 13. I admit that they're alot of bad kids when 13 but they're alot of good kids too so I hope Adults let us have jobs if we need then !

    I already sent a comment but I think it's rediculous that the law says at least 14 and we still have the most difficult time finding a job!!!!!!!!!!
