because 40 hours a week = Full time. 16 year olds are NOT allowed to work full time by law.
Not sure if thats true in all states. At least in MA, I was working 40 hour weeks at Stop & Shop when I was 16. There is a rule there however, that you can't work more then a 9 hour work day, and if you do you need atleast a 1 hour break, and you can't work past a certain time of night. Oh, and one more thing, you can't work more then 40 hours. Store ended up getting fined like $12,000 cause on two occassions they had me work a 14 hour work day. These rules all applied for atleast minors (under 18).
