Answer:

E) The employees aged 14 and 15 work only in office jobs and for limited time periods

Explanation:

The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) allows minors as young as 14 to work in certain jobs under specific conditions (doesn't apply to farm work):

  • when they are on vacations (out of school) they can work between 8-40 hours per week: maximum 8 hours per day
  • during school days, they can only work 3-18 hours per week: maximum 3 hours per day
  • must be employed outside school hours
  • must not perform tasks that are considered hazardous: there is a huge list of tasks that are considered too dangerous for minors to perform at work, e.g. mining, handling explosives, operating motor vehicles, sawing, etc.
