New Law Safeguards Job Rights of Older Workers
A new law, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, protects individuals aged 40 to 65 from employment discrimination by employers with 25 or more workers and related agencies. It bans hiring and wage discrimination and requires education programs, with enforcement by the Secretary of Labor. Exceptions exist where age is a clear factor such as firefighting or policing.
