How old do you got to be to work?

Answer 1

According to federal law, you must be at least 15 years old to work in the United States. At 15 years old, you are restricted to the number of hours that you can work and the types of jobs that you can have. For example, a 15 year old could work at Taco Bell 20 hours a week but would not be able to work at a Nuclear Power Plant for 40 hours a week.

Answer 2

In the US it's 15 for many jobs but 15 year olds are highly restricted in what they can do and the hours they can work. 16 year olds can do many more jobs with many less restrictions and many companies don't hire anyone under 16. Most states will allow a 14 year old to get a work permit. It requires parental permission as well as school official's permission. There are restrictions in the places they can work and how many hours they can work during a school week. Under the age of 14, most states allow a child to work for their parents in a family business, again subject to restrictions and safety requirements.

Answer 3

you have to be at least 15 to start a job and your job won't be high paying unless you have at least a degree in colege.

Answer 4

Depends on state. Most stars its 16. But you can get a permit to work in some states at 14.
