    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.

    the 14 year old law is stupid. i am 13 an i want a job now because my parents are cheap and won't ever get the things that i want. i wanted a watch for 2 years in a row. did i get it? NO! i'm sick of waiting for them to say yes to something and asking and waiting for the smallest thing imaginable. i ask them, "can i have $5 to bowl at luxery lanes." what do they say... you guessed it, NO! IT'S TO FRICKEN EXPENSIVE.
