    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 really dont think its fair for kids to wait until they're 14 to get a job. What if the need the money? Personally, I dont think this requirement matters as long as youre a good, responsible kid who also is on the honor roll.

    i think that 13 year old kids should be able to chooseif they want to work or not and if they cant do the job then the employer could fire them. i think that by that age, there able to make those kinds of desicions.
