Age discrimination can sometimes be very subtle, with inquiries about how long a person intends to continue working, questions about whether a person is ready to retire, etc. If an employer asks these types of questions, it could be considered age discrimination.

Age discrimination is a serious issue that likely affects millions of people in the United States every year. Age discrimination can happen when an employer makes decisions based on stereotypes about older workers’ abilities or skills. It is also illegal if an employer refuses to hire someone because they are “too old” for the position.
