Answer 1

Minors must be at least 14 years of age to be employed in the state of New Jersey, with the exception of employment in agricultural work (which includes nursery work and the care of livestock), newspaper delivery and theatrical occupations. The child labor laws no longer apply when minors reach the age of 18. Complete the hours of work section, showing actual or approximate hours to be worked in the daily and weekly period. Although these hours may vary by week, an estimated schedule is necessary to ensure compliance with child labor laws.
