This is a blog post about the minimum wage and the work hours for teenagers with jobs. I am doing it as an assignment for my 21st century class. The work hours for teenagers under 16 during the school year is no more than 3 hours of work per day, no more than 18 hours a week, and they are not allowed to work after 7:00 p.m. During the summer, they cannot work more than 40 hours per week, no more than 8 hours a day, and they cannot work earlier than 7 a.m. or 9 p.m. For teenagers ages 16-17, the only rules are that they cannot work before 5:00 a.m. on school days, and no later than 11 p.m.
There are 3 different minimum wages depending on the size of the business. The minimum wage for a large employer is $6.15 an hour. For a small employer it is $5.25 an hour, and the training wage is $4.90 and hour. These are all state minimum wages. There are also federal minimum wages, and workers get these wages plus any tip that they receive.
