In most states yes. Some farming states like Nebraska and Iowa might be different and allow younger children to work.

A lot depends on what state you live in. Most state have laws about anyone under 18 & work. Also, many states will require a work permit. You should be able to get all the information you need from your school or employment office.\n\nHere is an example of the typical rules (from California)\n\nFourteen and fifteen-year-olds may be employed in the following occupations in the food service and retail industries:\n\n• Office and clerical work, including the operation of office machines.\n• Cashiering, selling, modeling, art work, work in advertising departments, window trimming, and comparative shopping.\n• Price marking and tagging by hand or by machine, assembling orders, packing and shelving.\n• Bagging and carrying out customers orders.\n• Errand and delivery work by foot, bicycle, or public transportation.\n• Cleanup work, including the use of vacuum cleaners and floor waxers, and maintenance of grounds, but not including the use of power-driven mowers or cutters.\n• Kitchen work and other work involved in preparing and serving food and beverages, including the operation of machines and devices used in the performance of this work, including but not limited to, dishwashers, toasters, dumbwaiters, popcorn poppers, milkshake blenders, and coffee grinders.\n• Cleaning vegetables and fruits, and wrapping, sealing, labeling, weighing, pricing, and stocking goods when performed in areas physically separate from areas where meat is prepared for sale and outside freezers or meat coolers.

It depends on what state you are in. I live in Wisconsin and there is no set age. As long as it is a reasonable amount of time and as long as the child knows what to do in case of an emergency and has a list of important phone numbers.

You are pretty limited in the type of jobs that you can have so you may ask wherever you go to fill out an appilcation. Otherwise, the age limit is usually 16 in most places of businesses and tha is due to the Texas laws on child labor.

The federal child labor laws are part of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938, as amended.\n\nChildren 13 years old and younger are permitted to baby-sit, perform minor chores around private homes, deliver newspapers, or work as an actor or performer. They can also work for businesses entirely owned by their parents, unless employed in mining or manufacturing. They generally cannot work in other jobs.\n\nAs for the reasoning behind allowing children to act in movies, certain roles require the use of children for realism.  As acting is not generally a dangerous profession, as long as precautions are taken (there are restrictions as to how long a child can work on a set, how they are cared for, and their educational requirements), it is a generally acceptable practice.

First make sure it's legal.\nThe labour laws vary from place to place. It's common for the minimum age of employment to be 14, and in other areas as old as 16.\n\nThis is why youth often work cutting grass, shovelling snow, delivering newspapers and babysitting... those jobs are cash jobs and no income tax is collected.\n\nOnce you verify that you are employable, decide what skills you have to offer and approach target employers directly. Chances are you are not highly trained or employable at such a young age (nor should you be!...other things are more important at this point in your life), so you may be looking at jobs such as motel housekeeping, fast food service, reception work, cashier, stock clerk, etc.\n\nOnly YOU know what skills you have to offer.\n\nGood luck.

In Australia, you have to be 18.  But please think seriously about getting a credit card that you may not have the income to pay.  Interest rates are very high on cards, and although we may start off with really good intentions of paying the card off every month, it quickly gets away from us, and we end up with a real problem, which can affect your credit rating for a long time into the future.

It depends which country you live.\n\nBut 15 is the minimum in England.\n\n\nEdited to add.\n\nIf you are desparate to work and earn some money, look into washing up in pubs/restautants.  You can do that from about age 14 onwards.  It may even be younger depending on the establishment.\n\nFailing that of course, you could always apply to your local newsagents for a paper round.

Each place has its own policy..\n\nbut you can get working papers at age 13 (need a health clearance, and parents signiture), and get legal work wherever there's a place offering to hire 13 year olds.\n\nyou could simply tutor kids, or babysit, but you have to have connections (you have to know people who would trust you with their kids)\n\nit's not that hard though.. alot of places hire illigally (burger king :) privatly owned resteraunts) you could tell them to keep you "off the books" and you'll get a job in a heartbeat, (MAKE SURE ITS PRIVATELY OWNED or else you'll just embaress yourself, places like mcdonalds and macys won't approve and will ask you to leave, but your corner grocer or whatever will gladly hire you)

Ok first of all you have to be 14 and 9 months to be able to be employed legally in Australia.\nIn terms of labour/ wages once you are employed for example at Mcdonalds your wages are determined by your age.\nA person who is aged 15 may recieve a pay of $5.50 an hour and a 16 yr old will recieve a pay of around $7.00 an hour the maximum pay per hour ina retail position ( not as a supervisor or anything) is $17.50 an hour.\nIf you work on a sunday your pay is at 1.5 times the normal rate if you are employed to work on a public holiday its is 2 times the normal rate of pay. \ni have listed a website that is about the Australian Labour market.\n\nhttp://www.abs.gov.au/Websitedbs/c311215.nsf/20564c23f3183fdaca25672100813ef1/836043328657d426ca256bd500169f01!OpenDocument\n\nPlease note that the Labour industry in Australia is currently a hot topic. The federal Government of Australia has changed the IR Laws that make it easy to fire somebody if they work in a company or orgabistaion of any type that has less than 100 employees. It has seen many employees of such companies been dismissed unfairly and because of these new IR laws there is nothing that the unions can do at the present time.\n\nBecause unions are so unhappy about the Federal Governments decision and introduction of this law they are currently presenting their case to the High Court of Australia where it will be determined whether this law is viable or not. \n\nAn example of how bad the law has been to some people. There was an abattior in New South Wales that sacked every employee that was working there. They were told to reapply for their positions. The catch being that the positions new contracts paid $200 less a week.\n\nHope i have helped in some way

Job requirements in terms of your age are typically controlled by laws of the state in which you live.  The law will dictate how many hours you can work and what hours you can work as well.\n\nUse the below URL to be directed to your state website that will show you the state labor laws:\n\nhttp://www.youthrules.dol.gov/states.htm

No that is not too young if you can get a work permit.  At that age though you have to want to and have time for it.  School is more important at this age.  However a job must be found by age 18.

i dont know your local laws but if your a ceratain age you gotta have a working permit. But im sure you can do other things like baby sitting or helping people out. Ask your parents if you can help around and maybe collect money from them.
