    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 13 year olds deserve a summer job. And why a 10,000 dollar fine? Thats ridiculous. Are 13 year olds that irresponsible? Is there really a huge difference between a 14 and 13 year old? -.-` I`m trying really hard to find a summer job. I hope they change the law soon to allow 13 year olds to work.

    Hey! I'm 13 and I need a summer job. I don't care where for the most part, but I feel like I should earn some money of my own. I get straight A's in school, and I am responsible enough for at least a part time job at Starbucks or something. Please just give me some freedom!!!!

    I totally agree with a lot of people on here. My cousin and I have no way of making money and it should be our decision about if we want a job or not. People should listen to this nation's future. US. The youth. Some jobs should be based on the maturity level of teens. If this nation is all about the people and all about the future and fairness, we, the people, should be able to make our own decisions.
