    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 you people need to learn how to spell then you can work at thirteen you really don't have the maturity level to handle a job and school. I would know I was 13 it's too much stress wait until you are older kids.

    Wow. If you kids are trying to make a valid case you should probably use english, not internet lingo. I don't find anything to be wrong with the law, actually makes a decent amount of sense. And besides, the chances of you getting hired once your 14 will be limited, because you will only be able to work a certain number of hours per day/week. And the employers would much rather hire people who can work much longer.
