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 we should be allowed to get jobs. I mean, we too need money to pay for the things we want.
If it's legell for a 14 year old, why not 13?
I really need money for the things I want and it's not like my parents want to pay for everything and the time. PLEASE make it legel for a 13 year old to have jobs.
