Several different government agencies enforce labor laws, so it might be helpful if you posted a more specific question mentioning the type of law, and the state. Generally, the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division enforces the federal minimum wage and overtime laws, as well as a number of other laws such as the federal FMLA. The EEOC enforces laws against illegal discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, national ancestry,disability status, pregnancy and age (over 40.) OSHA enforces worker safety laws in most states. However, 21 states have their own worker safety organizations. State laws are enforced by the state, often by the state Department of Labor.

Government labor laws define how old an individual must be to be involved in wage labor. There are also laws pertaining to working conditions, maximum number of hours worked, and so forth.
