    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 law should be changed to 13 year olds being able to work in restarants, teenagers are just as resonsable as a 14 year old so what's the difference? most 13 year old that are looking for work (including me, for a summer job) are willing to give up their summer for a job to help out their family with money support. i am more then willing to give up my summer for a job.

    Some young teens today want to be independent and to be able to earn money of their own. Why can't they get a job and earn their own money for thier expensive clothes and anything else they want? The only way to see how far a dollar goes is to be paying for your stuff with your own money.

    Im a thirteen years old and i want to earn money and save it for school and help out my family but the only way i can get money is by asking my parents or my older sisters and i dont want to rely on them all my life to give me the money i need. i think they should change it and let all teens work Especially if they are responsible.
