    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 think that at least 13 year olds should be able to get jobs. I was thinking that the citys should have jobs for kids but only the citys should so teens can earn for college and more people might be out of debt. Plus the city if the thay set it up right thenthey to would earn money Thank you

    I don't understand why kids 12 and 13 years of age can not get jobs. I want a job because I would like to get some shoes and different things like that without asking my mom or dad for them. 12 year olds and 13 year olds should be able to get jobs. It would only be fair.
