    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 kids 13 and older should be able to get a job because we're teenagers and have more responsibilties anyway. if being a teenager is such a big deal, then why can't we get jobs. some of us kids need the money for important reasons like moms day or christmas. it's not fair we have to wait. pleezzzzzz change the 14 year old law before im 14. thanx

    13 year old should work and get money not that early to work at that age.most parents think they are young to work but they are not around 13,14,15,15 etc should work.
