That depends on the company. A qualified older person might be asking for too much money. Younger folks can usually be paid less. The United States has laws against age discrimination for people over 40 years old. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) protects that class of people, but you would need to be able to prove the discrimination.
