    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.

    Yo Anthony this Anthony or as others call me Rooney or Roondawg? Man I feel were your coming from people our age need work and if we don't start now we probably never will. Today we have modern technology and if we don't get our minds set than on jobs and our responsibilties than we never will. Video games xbox ps2 and computers are actually stealing the minds of our age groups. If we don't act now than we can basically become couch potatoes. Thanks for listening peace out Anthony Roondawg Rooney.

    When I was 13, in the summer I always wanted a job. Because everybody knows you need money to do just about anything. And when you get older there is more responsibility. And sometimes you just dont want to ask your parents for money. And I bet that a 13 year old would want and work harder for a job that an 18 year old. Really, I dont see whats the matter. 13 year olds are teenaagers now. And they should be able to have a job. At 13 that i when you start wanting more things and realize in order to get them you have to get the money yourself. Personally, I think that is the reason lots of kids
