Gov. Nikki Haleys 14-year-old daughter having a summer job at the State House gift shop is a tad more unusual than some may have thought.
Haleys daughter was, in fact, the only 14-year-old to hold a state job as of July 2012. And no 14-year-olds were employed by the state in either July 2011 or July 2010, according to data from the State Budget and Control Board.
However, assuming young Haley once again is employed by the state next summer when she is 15 she should find more company her age.
In 2012, the state employed four 15-year-olds. It also employed that same number in 2011 and 2010, according to the budget board, which provided the information in response to a request under the states open records law. (The budget board did not specify which state agency the teens worked for or what duties they performed.)
Haleys daughter worked part-time at the gift shop this summer, helping customers and stocking shelves. The shop is run by the state Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. That agencys director is appointed by and reports to Haley.

This ended up working in my favor - the boss at the Labor Department was put in charge of DES as well, so that DES caseworkers work with Labor investigators now. I think they liked taking the skezeballs at Acme Choppers down a few notches.
