    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 that 13 year olds should be able to get a job because it helps keep kids away from drugs and other things that can turn a great child into a bad 1. i think that the law should be changed because the difference is only 1 yr and we all need money and we all cant keep asking our parents 4 money cause they have bills and other things like our education if some of us go to a catholic school. i THINK WE SHO ULD ALL LIKE 13 and up
