Working age?

Question

How old do you have to be to start working? I know it varies by where you work but I'm thinking about working at Wal-Mart. I am a very dedicated person and I want to start creating a good work ethic. I also want to help my parents since we are having money problems a little bit.

Answer 1

Child labor law states at 15 but you can only work about 4 hours a day. you'll also need parents permission. Although a lot of companies will only hire at 17 and some 18. I don't think Wal-mart hires minors. Your best bet is a regular grocery store like Publex   or Albertson if you are a minor.

Answer 2

It depends on the state laws and it depends on the business you want to work at.  Where I live you have to be 18 to work at Wal-Mart.  My teens made a list of the places in our area and just started calling and asking how old they had to be and if the company was hiring.

Answer 3

16

Answer 4

if you attain the age of majority that is 18, you can now work as you have attain a majority age
