    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 13 and 14 year olds should jobs because we still have to know how to be responsible and so we can get our self things that we always have wanted and i hope one of these days 13 and 14 year olds should get jobs this year.

    I think 12 and 13 year olds should be able to get jobs because when i walked into a store and asked some questions about thier products i knew more about the layout of the store and more about the products and that was after he looked it up on thiere computer

    I don't think it is fair that 13 year olds should not be able to work, What if 13 year olds parents are having money trouble you should be able to have a job to pay for your own cloths or hep pay the bills. I just about to turn 14 and I still have trouble findig a good paying job so I can start taking over paying for my own things. I think if yonger children want to work they should take a test and pass it alowwing them to be able to work. Thank you for you time. yours truly, brandi 13 and 10 months

    I'm thirteen and live in New York City. It really sucks when I'm walking down the street with my older friends and go into a store and can't get something. Sure, I get allowence but 10 dollars burns in my hands. I feel bad when my friendes who are fourteen and able to work have to lend me money because I spent my last 5 dollars on breakfast. It's an important thing now to always have money in your pockets even if it means working for just 30 dollars a week we 13 year olds will be smart and save it!!!

    We 13 year olds need money also! That's defying our pursuit of happiness now that I think about it. Anyway if 13 year olds want to work then let us! I mean I understand that 13 is young but we go to the movies, mall, and parties like anyone else. Here in Tampa they have teen parties 13 and up, and YOU HAVE TO PAY. Most teens cant go anywhere because they dont have any money and babysitting and dog walking dont really help much!
