    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 a 13 year old girl. I hate asking my parents for money for clothes and other things. I feel so guilty asking my parents for something i want. I know my parents have other finances to pay and they cant always give out the money. I know most people think 13 year olds are immature but not all of us are. Some of us are willing to put in the effort and get a job but we cant because of this dumb law. i really would like to get a job and it would definately help out my parents alot i think its unfair. if we are willing to work i think we should be able to. no one is forcing us. WE WANT TO WORK!!!!

    Listen i want a J.O.B! is that so hard to ask? I know 14yr. olds that live in NYC that got a j.o.b! but don't do nada! 13yr.olds are just as cacable as working, just as 14yr olds. I want a job so i can pay for school supplies and clothes, even though parents can buy me everything.I don't want to have to depend on them all the time. I am going to write to da Mayor of NYC, asking him to talk to deezz people about lowering the age to vote. And besides it's not like were being forced to work; like in da 18 & 19 hund's, we wana work. Soo show me da job!!!!! And i'll take the money from there.
