In which job can a 15-year-old legally work under federal child labor laws?

  1. Lifeguard at a beach

  2. Part-time cashier at a grocery store

  3. Server in a bar

  4. Construction worker

The correct answer is: Part-time cashier at a grocery store

The option indicating that a 15-year-old can legally work as a part-time cashier at a grocery store aligns with federal child labor laws, which permit youth aged 14 and 15 to work in certain non-hazardous jobs. Retail positions like cashiering in a grocery store are often seen as appropriate for this age group, as they do not typically involve hazardous work conditions. While certain jobs like lifeguarding may have specific age requirements and training that can allow for younger employees in some states, they are not universally permitted under federal law for 15-year-olds. Roles such as serving in a bar or working in construction are generally classified as hazardous occupations where federal regulations restrict individuals under 18 from working due to safety concerns.
