Answer 1

Missouri Labor Laws:

Young people under the age of 14 are allowed to work only in limited areas such as the entertainment industry.

No child under fourteen years of age shall be employed or permitted to work at any occupation at any time.

A child under sixteen shall not be employed or permitted to work by any person, firm, or corporation:

Minimum Wage is $6.65/hr. effective January 1, 2008.

Sorry Carli, you're too young right now.  Perhaps you could get some babysitting jobs.



I admire your wanting to work Sweetie.

It looks like in your state the legal age is 16  but with a parents permission you can work at under 14 if you're in the entertainment industry.

I hope I helped you.
