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 03/16/05 Taneka Anita from FL said: I think that law should be changed becouse we 13 yr olds shud be able 2 earn are own money to buy things are parents cant afford and parents are always talking about being independent so why are they saying we cant work are.Parents dont want to buy us the things like make-up, they just say thats a waste of money so we should make are own money and waste it if we wanna waste it becouse we cant always depend on are parents.
On 03/15/05 friend from UT said: i am so mad i can't have a job i think we all should be able to have a job at the age of 13 because we have become teens now it is so unfair i also need a little bit of money because i don't have anything
On 03/15/05 kayla from Othr said: its not fair that 13 year olds cant have a job because at this age we need money and so we have a part time job during the school holidays and when werenot at work we can go out with our friends and buy stuff instead of scabbing money of our parents.
On 03/14/05 marquis from CA said: Well my middle school says that if you want a job 13 or 14 you just have to find the right one.
On 03/14/05 kaline from PA said: its not fair that 13 year olds can not have a job. we want to start being responsible for something and some 13 year olds want to be individuals. we cant be individuals if we have to go to our parents for money and to ask them for things. i want to buy my own things. please reconsider giving 13 year olds jobs we need the money. besides it is better to start being responsible earlier in life instead of waiting till your too old. we should not be judged for our age we should be judged on what we can do. i know that i can work for something if i want it. i want and need a job now.
