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 06/14/04 Thomas from CO said: I agree COMPLETELY! It really **** me * that all the people older than us are out there getting jobs that we could'a had. If theres no way to make money from jobs then it leads to people stealing and that is why teens are so discriminalized against. Everybody thinks that teens are destructive and cause trouble but it really can all get traced back to the people who wont let us work!!!
On 06/14/04 Mark from NY said: Thats not right because younger people need money in their pockets. there should be some jobs for 13 year olds because what happens if their homeless and have No food or nowhere to go (answer there going to starve to death and die) so I feel that you'll should change the law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
