I think both headlines ABC used for this piece are shit. The other one is:
‘Old’ at 51? Recruiters hiring based on age over experience, report finds.

Ageism is a thing in many places. Just look at how much crap old people get for existing, and how much people of all ages consider their own age group as some kind of validating identity.
