Florida Child Labor Laws, what can children under 14 years of age do?

I just want to know what children in florida can have a job under 14, around the 10-12 age group
Answers:
According to Florida Labor Law 450.021 minors of any age can be hired, but "No person 17 years old or younger, whether or not such person's disabilities of nonage have been removed by marriage or otherwise, shall be employed, permitted, or suffered to work in any place where alcoholic beverages are sold at retail, except as provided in s. 562.13. "
Federal Law is still inforced in this matter as well though(it governs all states) which states: Youths 14-15 yo can work outside of school hours in non-manufacturing, non-mining, and non-hazardous jobs under these conditions; no more than 3 hours on a school day or 18 hours in a school week, or 8 hours on a non-school day, or 40 hours on a non-school week.
Most employers though will not hire you until your 16yo so be prepared.
Not unless they cut lawns, help neighbors for money. In some staes they can get a work permit at 14. Check it out.
Babysit, mow lawns, help neighbors with chores, rake leaves, tutor younger children.
