    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 thirteen and I want a job to be able to buy clothes and other things, I don't get enough money from my parents for allowance and babysitting doesn't come around much.

I have to be fourteen to get a job and even then the only job offered for fourteen year olds in my city is bagging groceries at a grocery store. I'm beginning to get very angry and I NEED A JOB SERIOUSLY. I'm so jealous of the girls who have all the good clothes because their parents give them money. My parents don't, but I still want a lot of clo

    I think it is really unfair that thirteen year olds aren't allowed to get a job in a retail store because what is one year compared with our hole life. Yeah!!! you're really going to suddenly become a geneous when your fourteen just like majic( please note i was being sarcastic).So why should we go without money when fourteen year olds are pocketing $40 a week and we have to put up with a measly$10. IT'S UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
