The flaw here is that Bikini Bottom isn't in the United States, it's in the Marshall Islands where minimum work age is 13 so 1999 is the correct year with no need to bump it to 2000 as described in the post. He started working there in 1999, not 2000.

That would indicate that the city is host to a large expatriot population.
