    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 if 14-year-olds can get jobs, then so can 13-year-olds. For example, there are some 13-year-olds who just need money. I myself am in a band and would like to earn enough money to buy an electric guitar, some amps and some mics. However, I have been turned down by many potential employers because of my age. I think that the law should be that 13 year-olds cannot have a job unless they make the decision themselves to have one. Child Labor Laws should not come into play here because we can make the choice whether to work or not.
