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.

On 06/25/06 evelyn from VA said: actually i think 13 is the perfect age to start working. what better age to start working than right when you become a teen ager. plus being 13 i can say that i am always complaining about how i dont have enough money, my mom always sais "get a job". the problemwith that is that there are no jobs available for 13 year olds.
