    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'm 13 years old & my parents both think that I'm responsible enough to have a job.I make strait A's but the law still won't let me have a job. If we do good in school, most of the time it means we are responsible and should have a job.
