citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

It is an unlawful employment practice for an employer to do any of the following:

(1) Fail or refuse to hire or discharge an individual, or otherwise discriminate against an individual with respect to compensation, terms, or privileges of employment, because of the age of the individual.

(2) Limit, segregate, or classify employees or applicants for employment in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive an individual of employment opportunities or to adversely affect the status of an individual as an employee, because of the age of the individual.
