    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.

    why shouldn't 13 year olds have jobs its so unfair we need money too an age isn't nothing but a number ther isn't no difference in be 13 from 16 or what ever age. I feel that the state law should allow 13 year olds to have jobs. Also if you are 13 you are a TEEN duhhhh! if you are 13 you are a teen meaning you are just like being 14 TEEN. I feel that if you are a teen at the age of 13 you are becoming a teen and us thirteen year olds should be able to have jobs the law is wrong very very wtong US 13 YEAR OLS NEED JOBS YEAH!

    This law is stupid. How can parents make money but kids can't. What people don't understand is that kids want things to not what they need but other things. They can even help pay the bills so losen up and let us get a job!!!!!!!!!!

    I think you should be able to work at 12 at least as soon as you trun 12 you start becoming mature and learning the responsibltys of working and are ready to have jobs.Plus then youll have your own money to by cloths and food and etc. and you wont have to always ask your parents for money.And I think the parents would realy like that cause trust me every time I ask my mom for money she'll kill me,so ya I think yonger kids should be able to have jobs PERIOD THE END!
