- throwaway2037 5y agoI assume you are referring to United States employment law? For others: https://www.eeoc.gov/age-discrimination https://www.eeoc.gov/age-discrimination U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Age Discrimination: <<The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older. It does not protect workers under the age of 40, although some states have laws that protect younger workers from age discrimination.>>
- mattkrause 5y agoYes, but it's similar in Canada and Germany* too. * German academia has some incredibly stupid rules related to time-since-graduation, but age per se is a protected class.
