Without special circumstances, currently 18 years old.\n\nIn order to regulate health & safety, prevent child labor abuses and to help promote universal education, laws are in effect to cover this.\n\nSpecial circumstances would be:\nGetting a "work permit" if under 18. This allows the government to regulate hours and types of work and to make sure time is left for schooling if the person is not a high school graduate.\nFamily members of the owner are allowed to do work at an age where a non-family member cannot be hired to do the same thing.\n\nThere may be variations on this from state to state, but this is a summary of the common restrictions.

18.  Probably 21 in some states if you want to drink. But at age 18, you can sign a legal contract, join the military and do many other things since you are now an adult and fully responsible for your actions.

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.

Yes, you can legally work at age 15.  \n\nJust avoid online pyramid schemes promoted by people posting referral links to cashcrack.com and other dubious websites.  \n\nYou may have to find a small business to work for as many large businesses may not give you an opportunity to work at age 15 even though it is legal for you to work.

Labor Laws\n\nIt's not always as easy as it would seem for a teenager to get a job. There are laws restricting when you can work and what you can do.  Teens hired for nonagricultural employment (which is just about everything other than farm work) must be at least fourteen.  Other restrictions also apply:\n\n    *\n\n      Ages 14 and 15:  During the school year, hours are limited to 3 hours a day and 18 hours a week.  On days when there's no school and in the summer, working hours increase to 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week.  There are limits on when you can work, too - no later than 7 p.m. during the school year and no later than 9 p.m. between June 1 and Labor Day.\n    *\n\n      Ages 16 and 17:  There's no limit on hours, but, if you're under 18 you can't work in a job that the Labor Department considers hazardous.
