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 06/14/06 Kevin from CA said: I think that 13 years old should get a job because what if your parents came from another country to united states and they dont know english they have a young son/daughter whos only 4 or 5 years old then they should put her in school until she learns and turn 13 and help the poor family with money. this is really important and i want everyone to know this. this is what i think about 13 years old kids even myself want to help my family.

On 06/13/06 abigail from SC said: I think that 13 year olds should get a job as well so that we could earn some money for family support or giving some money to poor families that dont have enough money to even by food, or clothes, or even a house think about all these homeless people who need help. I really want to help famlies who dont have money like other people. I mean I simple job for 13 year olds would probably be fastfood restraunts. I am getting sick and tired of 13 year olds cant have a job it's so stupid! Please can you change the law on people cant have jobs at 13?! i mean it is so unfair and to other 13 year olds!
