Job seekers typically face age restrictions up until the age of 21 or 22. Many entry-level positions require young workers to stand at least 16 in order to gain employment, while others require applicants to be at least 18 years old upon hire.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the minimum employment age is 14 for many jobs, though federal law also restricts the number of hours that a 14- or 15- year old can work each week. Workers aged 16 or 17 aren't subject to federal restrictions on work hours. Federal law prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from working in hazardous industries or operating dangerous equipment.
