OK here they are
You must be 16 or older to work anywhere.
If you are 14 or 15 you must have parental permission to work.You can only work on weekends if you do work at this age, you must go to school.
Under 14 is illegal. Unless it is just like a parent taking a child to work oor chores or something like that.

You must be at least 16 with a work permit till your 18.
Unless you are a movie star, or entertainer then you can work at any age with your parents permission and your wage goes to your parents.

It depends on the state. But most states you need to be 16 to work with working papers which you can get at your school

look on page 78 of your text book, or look in the index of your text book under "child Labor"

wasn't it nice to learn for yourself
