    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 belive strongly that 13 year olds should be able to have jobs. We are very capable of things even if they had us wash dishes, clean up tables for a little money we need money just like everyone else.I would at this age LOVE to have a job washing tables and dishes just for at least some money more than I started out with.I think you should think about letting certian 13 year olds have small just helping out jobs. I know for me it would make me more responsible and care more about what I buy because I bought it with my own money.

    Sure I think thirteen is old enough to get a job. I also think that if us thirteen year olds were to be allowed to get jobs that alot of poeple would take advantage of it.

    I am 14 yet i cant find a job. There so many alternatives like cutting grass,shoveling snow, doing odd chores,raking leaves,etc. My opinon is that they should hire 13 year olds during summer break. We havenothing to do except making big holes in our parents wallet.

    i think 13 year olds should have a job. its not fair for us to wait. we should give our parents a break for once in a life time. if we have our own money we can spend it however. we dont have to worry about asking our parents for money instead we can have our on money.
