    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.

    This is so not right. Whatever happened to freedom, isn't it for young teenagers too? We need the money now, not when we're 15.

    I dont't think that its fair to let 16 year olds have jobs when 13-14 year olds can do just as much. My opinion is to open upmore jobs to younger people instead of 16 and up. Because its almost summer and we need money to do the stuff that we want to do. And so we'll have money for transportation and food.But if we don't have the money to do any of that then we don't have much of a summer. Thats my opinion on what we need to do about jobs for younger people now whats yours.

    I thinik the govenment should think this over.  well if we can prove that we are mature by keeping our grades up getting our permit then why cant we get a job if the parents approve then why schould they care if i could start a pettion and get 2000 people to sighn to get a law that 13 year olds could work if there parent approved the got a work permit and there grades were good

    It's so not fair! I'm 12 and I do a lot of dancing which is really expensive, but I've got to have a life aswell! I don't get pocket money because my hobby costs a lot so don't get any money of my own. If I had a job, I'd be able to go to the cinemas and shopping with my friends alot more, also I think work makes teenagers more responsible.
