    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 dont understand why thirteen year olds can't get a job. We are as hard working as 14 yr. olds all becuase we are a year younger doesnt mean that we arent smart enough to get a job. We are perfectly capable to get a job at our age even if you have to clean tables or mop a floor. It just isnt fair and all of us teenagers need to get together and make people realize that we can do everything that a 14 yr. old can do!!!! Who's feeling me??
