• The Breadth of Age Discrimination in Employment

    The ADEA does not offer a concrete definition of discrimination. Instead, the Act
    prohibits employers from doing anything that harms an older worker's status because of
    his or her age. This may range all the way from offensive age-related jokes to using age as
    a factor in hiring, firing, layoff, promotion, demotion, working conditions and hours,
    training opportunities, compensation, or benefits. Historically, most ADEA lawsuits have
    involved firings or layoffs of older workers.
