The legislature has made it unlawful and the courts have backed it up. It helps discourage age discrimination.

employers are only allowed to ask if you are over 18. if you say no, they may then ask if you are over 16. this is because of working restrictions defined in child labor laws. also minors cannot perform all functions that may be necessary for the job. if you say you are over 18 they can't ask anything else about your age.

Yes, it is. If a person is not selected for the position and the selectee is younger, the non-select would have grounds for a lawsuit.
Of course, you would have to prove that you were equally qualified and not just older.

They ar enot supposed to base their decision to hire you or not on age, race, or gender. It's kind of a weird because anyyone can see these things, and if they're going to discriminate, they will do it anyway.
