What are the child labor laws in florida and do they apply to me if i graduated high school?

I recently graduated but im only 17,I have been trying to get a job but every place I have applied at mentions that since im not 18 im restricted and it makes me less likely to get a job.I was wondering what the laws are and do they still apply to me even if i graduated and am attending college?

You are not restricted if you have graduated. However nothing requires an employer to hire you if they mistakenly believe that you are, so I'm not sure how that helps you in practical terms.
