According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Agency's website, The Age Discrimination in Employment Act, or ADEA, "forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment."
The problem is that the ADEA only protects people that are over the age of forty. This law still allows employers to reject the applications of younger applicants based solely on their age. To say someone is unqualified because of their age is discriminatory. To say that age discrimination only applies to older Americans is equally discriminatory.
The flaw in this law is not fair to the youth of America and should be amended accordingly on a national basis.
