Question $3(2$ points$)$

Jordan, a $17-$year$-$old high school student, wants to work at a local gas station.

However, the gas station has a policy of only hiring individuals who are $18$ years or

older. Jordan feels this is unfair and wonders if this policy is covered under the Age

Discrimination in Employment Act $($ADEA$).$

Is the gas station's policy of only hiring individuals who are $18$ years or older covered

under the ADEA?

No$,$ because the ADEA only applies to federal employees

No$,$ because the ADEA only protects individuals who are $40$ years of age or older

Yes, because the ADEA prohibits any age$-$based hiring policies

Yes, because the ADEA protects all age groups from discrimination
