New research finds that job applicants aged 40 and above begin to experience age discrimination
at the point where their age becomes apparent to the employer. In a new, groundbreaking
paper, David Neumark, an economist at the University of California, Irvine, writes
that workers who apply on site for positions are “substantially” less likely to be
invited for an interview compared to workers who apply on the Internet (and are not
required to disclose their age).
