    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 and have been asked for a job cause I would be good at it.Then they asked me my age and I said 13 and they wouldn't let me have it.It's not fair I have to wait a whole year to get a job. All my friends are older and when we go out i'm the only one without money cause they have jobs. I want a job now not i a year.
