    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 really want a job but everywhere I've called says 15 or 16. We could do a really easy job like cleaning tables or something. It's not fair!

    It is kind of crazy that a child my age can't get a job because of our age I think that if we are responsible enough then we deserve a chance at making money. People tell me that everyone has the same but when a 13 year old goes out for a job they turn us down because we are not the same as a 16,17,18 year old and it's just not fair.
