What is the earliest time a 14- or 15-year-old may begin work on a school day according to federal laws?

  1. 6 a.m.

  2. 7 a.m.

  3. 8 a.m.

  4. 9 a.m.

The correct answer is: 7 a.m.

According to federal labor laws, the earliest time that a 14- or 15-year-old may begin work on a school day is 7 a.m. This regulation is in place to ensure that young workers are not required to start their workday too early, which could potentially interfere with their schooling and overall well-being. Federal standards establish working hours that prioritize the education of minors, allowing them adequate time to attend school and complete their homework while still permitting some level of employment. This balance is crucial for their development and ability to manage both academic responsibilities and job commitments effectively. The other options suggest earlier start times, which do not comply with the established legal guidelines that aim to protect young workers' rights and promote their education.
