    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 this is a good law...and i am 13. if you want a job that bad you should be looking no for what kinds of jobs are offered to 14+. some jobs like helping at a camp require you to take a babysitting cousre, first aid saftey...etc. even when you do turn 14 there are not many jobs aviable to you. start by vonterning somwhere to see if you can handle other responsiblities beside school. and the only reason "you(posters)" want jobs is to buy stuff at the mall. you really don't need nail polish cds namebrand clothes makup. i don't get any money when i go shopping.and ypu also say that y
