16, BUT THERE ARE SOME PLACES IN CERTAIN STATES THAT WILL ALLOW 14 TO WORK... WITH PARENTS APPROVAL AND OF COURSE STIPULATIONS LIKE THE TIME THEY GET OFF AND HOW MANY HOURS THEY WORK. I AM NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DETAILS, I JUST IKNOW A LADY THAT IS GOING TO HAVE HER SON START WORKING WHEN HE TURNS 14 SO HE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO A MINOR IRA ACCOUNT...

Basically, 14, though in some very limited instances (such as those where federal law does not apply) minors can work younger. Federal child labor law (found in the Fair Labor Standards Act) says that minors ages 14 or 15 can work in any non-manufacturing, non-production, non-distribution, non-transportation, non-warehousing employment. That essentially leaves things like child care, retail, food service, janitorial, etc., open to minors ages 14 and 15. In addition to the occupation restrictions, federal law also limits the hours 14 and 15 year olds can work to those not before 7:00 a.m., not after 7:00 p.m. (except June 1 through Labor Day, you can work until 9:00 p.m.), no more than 3 hours a day on days when school is in session and no more than 18 hours a week during weeks when school is in session, and no more than 8 hours a day on days when school is not in session and no more than 40 hours a week during weeks when school is not in session.
For more specific information on federal child labor laws, look at Title 29 of the US Code of Federal Regulations, Part 570, or contact the US Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, at www.dol.gov or 1-866-4US-WAGE.
Of course, your state might have child labor laws that are more restrictive. To find out, call your state labor department or contact your Lieutenant Governor's office (the numbers should be in the blue (or government) pages of your telephone book).
Hope this helps!

It depends on the type of job and the state. look on your state's Department of Labor website.
