    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 totally agree with the 13 year old should be able to have a job! babysitting,mowing lawn and paper routes are all good but you don't end up babysitting and mowing lawn everyday and paper routes don't pay much. i think 13 year olds should be able to get a easy job..one with not that much responsibility like someone said..just cleaning up and maybe putting clothes back or something like that. my mom is also getting sick of me asking for money and her giving me money all the time and i need some better way to make some!!

    I disagree with this law summer can get so boring. My mom is always saying that i have to find money some to go places b/c she does not have that much money. All 13 year olds can do is carry papers. and all they give you is like 12 to 50 cents per paper and like the press you only make about 20.00 a month. At a store 13 year olds can help put stuff back and clean up. I mean that that law is dum. So get rid of it
