I was 21 when I got my first salaried position at an observatory.  I suppose a real child prodigy could have done it by age 17 at the earliest.

It depends on the legal frame of the country you are in. Most countries do not allow children under the age of 16 to have a regular job.  However, a summer job or a part time job which is suitable to the child's health, age and mental condition may be sustained.  Some of these jobs may be: car washing, delivering news papers, pet walking, reading for 4-5 years old children at some day cares.

It's pretty much illegal to give someone under 16 a job, or a "real" job because of child labor laws. So some places give jobs to 15 year olds, but the laws are so strict even they can't work more than about 15-20 hours a week, so most places won't even bother with you until you're 16. \nTry getting a job helping out a parent, babysitting, or start selling things on ebay.\n\nps. I'm from Texas too :D, cept the DFW area, originally Houston.

A worker's permit is needed to be employed as a minor between the ages of 14 - 17. The minimum age varies by state, so you will have to check to know for sure. Even if the age to work can be as young as 14, many states have provisions as to the type of labor and the amount of hours worked that are allowed. Other provisions include the number of hours allowed worked during school days & hours of the day that can be worked.

You can't get a regular job at 13 in any state. (There are federal child labor laws) However, you can babysit, cut grass, wash cars, dog walking, and a couple others. \n\nYou can not be hired by other people but you can do odd jobs like the ones above to make money. \n\nThere is an exception to this. Children are permitted to work in family businesses as long as it is limited hours per day/week.

Depends on the state you live in.  Some stats have laws for children to work.  Try the mall, local stores, babysitting, tutoring, cleaning houses.  Plus you are limited to how many hours you can work.  the average state legal age for working on papers is 14 years of age.  Please jsut check your state.  Stay positive and blessed\n\nTY

Your key here is the general migration of manufacturing jobs to RELATIVELY low-wage states: this was beginning to occur even during the war.\n\nTake a look at migration patterns, etc, and note the beginning of the postwar boom in great urban centres starting around 1945 or 1950. Small-scale manufacturing continued in relatively high-labour-cost states (e.g. New York) until the 1960s and beyond - even to the present day - but keep in mind the bigger picture: manufacturing goes to where labour is less costly, sites are plentiful and raw materials (via ports and locally) accessible.
