However, there are a few permitted occupations for 14-year-olds in New York, which may apply to Queens:
Certain Agricultural Jobs:
- Limited outdoor work related to agriculture, horticulture, and aquaculture.
Newspapers and Door-to-Door Sales:
- 14-year-olds can deliver newspapers or engage in door-to-door sales.
Entertainment Industry:
- With proper permits and parental consent, 14-year-olds can participate in certain entertainment activities like acting or modeling.
Other Limited Jobs:
- Non-hazardous office or clerical work.
- Certain restaurant or food service jobs (such as busing tables).
- Caddy work on golf courses.
It's essential to note that there are restrictions on the number of hours and times 14-year-olds can work, and they must obtain work permits from the Department of Labor. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I recommend consulting the New York State Department of Labor website or talking with an employment counselor or youth employment agency in your area.
