SERVICES TO OLDER WORKERS
Through its participation in the America’s Job Center of
California
SM
(AJCC
SM
) system, the Employment Development
Department (EDD) provides services that promote equal
employment opportunities for older workers.
Who is an Older Worker?
An older worker is defined as a job seeker at least 40 years
of age who encounters or expects to encounter difficulty in
getting or keeping a job principally because of age.
Laws Protecting Older Workers
The Federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act of
1967 prohibits age discrimination in employment to
workers who are 40 years of age or older.
A California law, the Fair Employment and Housing Act,
also prohibits employer discrimination against job seekers
who are 40 years of age or older.
The EDD ensures that all of its job listings comply with
federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
Employment Services for Older Workers
The EDD provides the following services at the AJCC
SM
throughout the state:
•CalJOBS
SM
- this Internet service enables employers to
enter job listings and search for qualified applicants,
and enables job seekers to enter résumés and review
job listings. Register at your local AJCC

Employment-related services provided to older workers
are basically the same as those for other customers. Older
workers who are experiencing difficulty finding work may
seek assistance from the EDD staff, who have expertise in
helping to solve problems faced by older workers. Local
EDD staff also participates in activities that promote public
awareness of older worker issues and partner with other
agencies that serve older workers.
