    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.

    Aiight...so this is how it is, I think that people who are 13 are unfit to have jobs(at least most of them). I doubt I would trust anyone under 16 at a position of service. I think that 15 on up is ok, but 13, I just don't know.

    I think that thirteen year olds should be able to work if they are willing to work. I need cash and my parents are not always willing to give it to me. I need to do something to give me a sense of responsibility. I just don't want to sit in the house all day and beg for money, and i feel like why do that when i could just go to work and have money and feel good for having a sense of responsibility and the sense of earning my own cash.
