    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.

    13 year-olds should have a right to have a job. They should help out with the family and help themselves to gain responsiblity towards the future. We are practically young ladies and men. We should be able to help our families or we don't want to be turn up into a mistake. I really want to help!
