Age discrimination is also a big problem in IT. Younger people saw this happening to older people and are rightly reluctant to go into these fields. So the response of employers is not to end the age discrimination, but to claim that they need to bring in workers from other countries.http://www.mprnews.org/story/2013/04/02/daily-circuit-engineering

Many employers discriminate against older engineers, according to Larry Mishel, president of the Economic Policy Institute.
"They all want the newest kids coming out and discriminate against people that know a lot and can learn more material," Mishel said yesterday on The Daily Circuit. "For some reason, the employers consider people 35 and older in engineering on 'the other side of the game.'"
