Jobs For Teens in Michigan

The state of Michigan has a lot to offer. Teenagers residing in the state can ride a carousel, take a Dune Ride, visit Arch Rock and see a variety of sporting events.  In addition, teenagers in the state can visit the University of Michigan, ride a ferry and access a variety of shopping.  And of course there are the lakes! The unemployment rate in Michigan is 4.7%, leading to opportunities for teenagers who are looking to earn income and gain experience.

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