What is the age to get a job?

Question

I'm curious, because in some places it's different from what I've heard. How old do you have to be, to just get like a part-time job, let's say at Starbucks?

Thank You

Answer 1

most places its 16

Answer 2

It depends on the industry.  Some agriculture jobs hire 8 years + with a work permit.  Most fast food and grocers hire 15+ with a work permit.

Answer 3

the iron age.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Good question. It will depend on where you live and which state or province you live in.

Some of the states allow children as young as 12 or 13 to enter the workforce. In Canada I do believe most provinces are 15, but there may be one or two that are one year lower.

It would be best to speak to some local business owners or call your city hall for accurate information.

Good luck!

Answer 10

Maybe around 16

Answer 11

16 ish

Answer 12

Around here at 14 and 15 you can work at Six Flags or something.

Any other job is 16+

Some even require people to be 18. Like the movie theater, and Macy's stores around here.

For starbucks, I would guess and say 16+. I dont have one of them anywhere near me..so I wouldnt know.
