EEOC Acting Chair Lipnic Releases Report on The State Of Older Workers And Age Discrimination 50 Years After The ADEA
Victoria A. Lipnic, Acting Chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), issued a report today on the State of Older Workers and Age Discrimination 50 Years After the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA). The ADEA was signed into law in December 1967 and took effect 50 years ago this month, in June 1968. The ADEA was an important part of 1960s civil rights legislation that was intended to ensure equal opportunity for older workers.
The report finds that age discrimination remains too common and too accepted as outdated assumptions about older workers and ability persist, even though today's experienced workers are more diverse, better educated and working longer than previous generations.
