I thought I heard somewhere that an adult is only allowed to work 80 hours a week or something... Is that true, or is an adult allowed to work for as long as they want? Thanks.

an adult can work as many hours as he/she wishes but can not be forced to work more than 16 hrs/day & more than 6 days / wk ( unless it was a requirement for the job at hand and you were made aware before taking the job ). If your job is a truck driver or machine operater then there are restrictions put in place limiting the amount of hrs one can work in a given wk. every states labor laws are different.
