Jobs For Teens in Louisiana

Teenagers in Louisiana have a variety of things available to keep them busy when they have spare time. The streets of New Orleans offer unique shops and all sorts of restaurants. The state hosts a jazz festival that attracts fans from all over. Teenagers can even tube down a river, pick blueberries and take a mystery tour. Despite all of the opportunities to keep busy, teenagers who are interested can find work in the state, which as of May 2016 has an unemployment rate of 6.3%.

If you're under 16 years of age, there are specific labor laws in Louisiana that don't allow you to work for traditional employers.  Of course, if you're 14 or 15 years old you can get a work permit in Louisiana, but otherwise there isn't too much information on this page that will help you.  With that being said, if you're under 16 years of age and don't have a work permit, please select the appropriate age below to find jobs that suit your age group.
