    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 All Teenagers should be able to work because they want to be independant from our parents and we want to do and buy things for ourselves instead of beggin' our parents. LET US WORK!
