Employer may legally discriminate based on BFOQ

Explanation:

Bona Fide Occupational Qualification BFOQ gives an employer the right to employ individuals base on sex, age, nationality, gender if they see these characteristics as bona fide occupational qualification. In doing this, the employer must be able to show that the reason for employing based on these characteristics is very vital to the production of their company, and that only these particular characteristics are necessary for the safety and efficiency of the employee. In this case, it is possible that the bona fide occupational qualification for this job is that the candidate must be or above 60 years of age.
