    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 kids at the age of 13 should be able to work. We are responsible and i believe that alot of 13 year olds dont want to babysit all summer. They want to do something fun to earn money to spend on themselves and other people. YOU SHOULD LET 13 YEAR OLDS WORK! I believe that we could help out our families and friends if you would just let us work or give us the chance to work. I dont want to have to wait another year to work i want to be able to work this Fall and earn some cash. TO all who are with me leave a comment and say the we all agree that 13 year olds should be aloud to work. bye

    I dont think its right for 13 years old to not have a job. At least were teens in middle school going to high school.we are the same people as the 14 and up who get jobs. I think that it is not right for 14 year old and up can get jobs and 13 cannot so change the facts.
