    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.

    K13 year olds may be able to deliver news papers but a lot of them don't want to do that it's boring!

    No. The reason the government doesn't want thirteen year olds to work, is because most are not mature enough. Thirteen year olds don't have the responsibility or education to actually work. There are many jobs for thirteen year olds; such as mowing lawns, babysitting, or newspaper delivery. You wouldn't see a thirteen year old (who probably can't even use correct grammar) doing brain surgery or even working in restaurants. There is such a thing as "insurance," and thirteen year olds are under age.
