Its also illegal to carry lobsters of a certain size between states, its doesn't make it important. Being highly paid shows you that there is much competition for labor, which means some might discriminate and some might not. If people don't want to hire older people they wont, no amount of law will change that, but it will make it more expensive to hire in general.
