    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.

    us 13 year old shoul d be ale to work. why do you have to be 14? we are old enough and mature enough to make the right dcisions. we know what is right and what is wrong. your allowing us to voice our opinions now all we have to do is get people to listen. in arizona you get your permit when your 15 right?well some parents make thier kids pay half the insurance, well if we can only work one year how are we supposed to get enough money to pay insurance because insurance is expensive. we NEED to WORK at 13!

    I am a 13 year old from ny and i am only alloud to babysit and i want a real job that i can make a steady amount of $$ and also a steady job i don't think it is fair b/c we are teens when we turn 13 and i think we should have our own responsibilities. People can't say well when your 13 you don't have a ride to your job but you don't when you are 14, 15 and 16. When your 16 you need an adult by you so it makes no differanca. This is my oppinion. It is so not fair.
