How old do you have to be to work legally?

I'm underage and need to know how old I have to be to legally work.
If it varies from state to state, what's the age in Texas/Kansas?


    




michr
to be gainfully employed (work for a business) you must be 14 or older.
there are limits on the number of hours per week and day as well as the jobs that may be performed. some states require a work permit for minors, Kansas does for those under 16, Texas does not require any work permits.

under 14 can work:
in a business owned or operated by their parents
on a private farm hand picking fruits and vegetables
deliver newspapers and/or periodicals
caddy at a public golf course
umpire/referee for a municipal league
as an actor/actress in Radio, TV, or the Stage

you can also do casual labor (working in a private home) such as baby-sitting, tutoring, pet-sitting, yard-work etcetera...
