    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 believe 13 year olds should be aloud to work because usually 13 year olds have had the same experiences as 14 year olds but still have to wait another year. I can see 12 year olds not being able to work but 13 year olds is a different story. We are capable of doing anything a 14 year old can do!
