    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 they should let us work at any age within reason, because kids want things that their parents cant always to but for them, and they can earn money to get them. Like for me i want to but paintball gear. my mom cant afford to spend hundreds of dollars buying it for me and i cant get a job,so im stuck with nothing, until my birthday.

    I thin us 13 year olds should be able to get simple jobs that we could understand without getting into trouble. Many friends and I have looked for jobs and they all say how it is not legal to get a job at my age. I wish we could do something simple and get paid like adults!!!

    Im a 13 year old and i believe that every 13 year old DESERVES to have a job. I believe that we are most certainly resposnible for anything we do. We should have a chance to gain a bit of pocket money for ourselves instead of asking our parents for the money. Our parents always say "oh its too much" and "you can't have it because you shouldnt spend that much" or something like that. We should be able to spend as much money we want while it is spending our OWN money. So... why not? again, we have enough responsiblilty so i belive we should be able to get jobs at this age, of thirteen.
