    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.

    Im 13 and i want a job, or at least be able to volunteer somewhere! My friend and I have been asking around for volunteering opportunity's, the youngest age that was available to volunteer was 14! (It was the library by the way) Humane society's wont even let you volunteer unless you are 15! Some 13 year olds are mature enough to have jobs, letting 13 year olds take a test when applying for a job or volunteer opportunity would be better than simply ignoring 13 year olds and their right to have a job.

    I think that the laws really need to be changed. I can't even go out with my friends and have a good time without a job. 13 YEAR OLD KIDS SHOULD BE ABLE TO HAVE JOBS

    This is just plain stupid I mean what is the diffrance between 13 and 14 nothing just another year of life. I can not get a job untill 14 because there is none! We all need to do something about this why can we not have money I do chores for 25 dollars a week but if I had a job I would be willing to work harder therfore I would earn my money I feel like chores is not enough.If we 13 year old male/female humans feel responsable enough that we want a job at least give us a chance life is not fair but we can try!
