What Jobs Can 13 Years Old Get?
Federal Law in the United States limit the types of jobs for teens of 13 years of age. It says that you can only work as:
- delivering newspapers
- babysitting
- cleaning up leaves in the garden of your neighbor
- or work as an actor, model
Not so much work is it? Yes indeed, that’s exactly the types of jobs that are allowed for teenagers under 14 years old. Therefore, if your family has own business you’d better work in it as long as the work is not included in the list of occupations considered hazardous by the government.
