    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 am 14 years old and in many places that I've gone to look for a job they said that I must be 15 in order to get it. That isn't fair because I am a responsible person and can't get a job.

    Im 13 years old and i know for sure i need a job , so i wont have to ask my mama for money when i go places. I mean us 13 year olds are just as good at the register as the adults maybe even better. The least we could do is sack groceries or put items up. But me the main reason i want a job is to help my mama out with the things we need i know she could use the help and also when i go out i wont have to ask her for money that she needs to pay bills. Well what im trying to say is if youre 13 you should be able to work. Just like were old enough to do chores and baby-sit we can have a real job.
