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.

On 04/16/05 christian from CA said: i think that the legal age for a job should be 13 because this is the time when us new teenagers want to but things but we can't because we might not have money. So I think that us 13 year olds should be able to get a job.
