    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 that 13 year olds not having jobs is unfair......we can handle the work and what do 14 year olds have except for one year in high school have that we don't!!! It's unfair that we aren't seen fit to handle work......we need the money anyway cuz most stuff is geared towards teens and they always have to beg their parents for the money! I'm 13 and I hate my clothes cuz my parents always buy them for me at places like Sears and Zellers instead of places like Jean Machine and Urban Planet!!!! We need the cash....give us a chance to get some!!!!!

    I think 13 year olds should be able to work because we need to learn to be more independant and less reliant on our parents doing everything for us!!!! We might want something our parents just won't spend the money on or we might want to start saving money for college or university but we don't have the money to save......In my case, I want to start saving for University now, but we just bought a new house and we got a dog and the money is just going elsewhere.. 13 year olds can handle their own money and they know what they want to do with it......we are soon going to enter the workforce as f
