    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 the law should allow 13 year olds to work. For example I really need a job. My parents are much in debt and I as their oldest son think that I should help with the income.

    I think 13 year olds should have a job because they are older now so they can start going out on their own and to do that they need MONEY. If that can be done it will have to change so 13 year olds can have a job.I would really want a job!!!
