    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.

    When you turn 13 your a teen, and you should be able to get all the other privlages 14-19 year olds get. Like APPLYING FOR A JOB, FOR INSTANCE. I mean, 13 is only one year off of 14 so why do 14 year olds get to apply for jobs and not 13 year olds?
