    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 think that 13 year-olds should be able to have jobs because thats when mosst parent start trusting their child with money. They want to be able to afford the stuff that matters to them or maybe they want a head start on buying their car or money for university.
