    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.

    Well, I myslef agree to what the teens are saying here. I am 14 years and I would love to find a job suitable for me. Somtimes it is hard to ask my praents for money. Our house might be reposesed soon and I need a job to help pay the current debt we have. Well, I do not know the point of all this but, I would like to say that, the youth (14+) should have the right to work. Thank you.
