    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 disagree with the law of being 14 to work because being that I am 13 I go out with my friends all the time and Need money. We are old enough to ride or walk to school so we should be old enough to get a job. I will say this though, some jobs may not be suitable for children the age of 13 but some jobs are ok. One thing they can check for if they want are the grades and class types of the students such as regular,advanced and honors but over all I think 13 year olds should be allowed to work.

    Even though i am 14, i think the age should be 13 too. I wanted money and i needed a job for that!! A lot of parents don't give their children money to do stuff and that they need to get their own.
