    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'm trying to find a job to earn some money for collage, but I can't make that money when I'm stricted from working. I mean, it's taking some ones rights away from them when they say we are unable to work when we really want to. I think it should be the leaders to come choice if they want to work to build a better working chain.
