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.

On 06/18/03 mario from PA said: I cant stand sitting at home having nothing to do all day. I need to work so i can pay for my own needs. I dont understand it,if 14 year olds are able to work how come 13 year olds cant if were only an age younger? If i want to work then whats the problem? There is no child labor in that situation.

I want a job and i love kids so babysitting would be a great job for me I want to know where i can get a job!!! 13 is a great age for kids to start working so i think we need to have jobs for 13 year olds. Not just working for family and friends but working for the state and others!!!! People need to have jobs for 13 year olds too we feel left out!!!
