In 1938, Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act. It fixed minimum ages of 16 for work during school hours, 14 for certain jobs after school, and 18 for dangerous work. Many actions taken by individual states led up to this act and it took several efforts in the preceding years for Congress to agree on this final act.
