    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 think that it is not fair fo TEENAGERS who are 13 to not be able tho work. They act like we are not capable of making a living but yet and still they say we need to start while we are young! Asking my parents for money is not going to last too much longer!
