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.

On 12/30/04 Angela from PA said: 13 year olds should have jobs. There is no reason for them to have a law saying that we cant have jobs! I mean for Christmas I had to get my parents to buy all of my gifts for everyone. This law is pretty much usless to have.
