Jobs For Teens in Massachusetts

It is hard to know where to start when it comes to all of the opportunities for teenagers to keep busy in the state of Massachusetts. Teenagers can visit Battleship Cove, spend time in the Berkshires, bike to Cape Cod beaches, try zip lining and even attempt a ropes course! Massachusetts teens can visit an indoor waterpark, attend sporting events and access all sorts of shopping and dining. Some teenagers, however, may choose to spend some of their leisure time gaining work experience. With a 4.2% unemployment rate in the state, there is opportunity for teenagers to get in the door of a workplace.

If you're under 16 years of age, there are specific labor laws in Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts, 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.

If you're under 16 years old, your job options are different. Please select your age below:
