    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 know that adults are concerned about the saftey of the children, and jobs that will stress them, but I feel that 13-year olds should be able to get jobs. Some parents don't pay their children allowance because they feel they shouldn't get a reward of what they should be doing, and they say that we should work to get what we want, and I'm turning 13 in the spring and I badly want a job because that's basically the only way we 13-year olds can earn money for our hard work, and get what we want using the money out of our own pockets, and not out parents. I really hope they listen this time!!!!!
