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 am going to be 13 in feb.And I would like to have a job.I think that the less older we are we should be put in a small kind of a job like a photo center or a gas station or a car wash center were we have less things on are backs.And once we get older we can bring it up a level.We teens want a change but were not asking for a lot.I sure hope that you think about it and send aout a BILL! And we the teens are not going to back off from our stand till you make a change!And I'm one of them!!!!!!!!!! 12 going on 13 this year of 2005 in feb.

I am about to turn thirteen, but for years I have wanted a job. I do not understand why we can't have a job as older people do. We can work just as hard as a 25 year old. I think they regulate it because some adults once took advantage of their kids by making them work hard and taking their earned money. So, all you 12 and 13 year olds out there, why don't we make a petition, maybe an email list, and get like, 5000 signatures, and send it to the Employment Agency?
