    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.

    Even though I am fourteen years of age, I can porport that 13 year old children should be able to work. One reason is because you must be aleast 13 years old to attend a pg rated movie. Doesn't this show capability of responsibility? Another reason is in the custom of Jews, when a child turns 13 there is a celebration called barmitzvah (for the boys) and betmitzvah (for the girls) to concept that they are stepping into a stage of adult-hood. Still one more reason is many children dont get allowance and need money to proceed into clothes and video games or whatever their heart desires. This ca
